This link just gets me the august 2026 date index view...
So I don't have the entire context... guessing.

My work on RFC8994 caused me to debug such situations in very much
*deterministic ways*... yes... not at all random.  And "wire" ("WAN") latency 
was
very low since it was v6-LL / v6-LL communcation.

I wound up putting a sleep in *before* asking my IKE to initiate,
based upon the low bits of the IPv6-LL.  This meant that one side would
always initiate first, so one wasn't wasting time doing two IKE Parent SAs.
(Yes, I did find bugs in the pick-IKEv2-to-kill too)

I guess that one end does not yet have the right policy loaded yet, so it
would otherwise refuse?    I didn't have this problem, but I don't see why I
couldn't run into it as well.
