Hi,

RFC 5996 says this about INITIAL_CONTACT:

  The INITIAL_CONTACT notification asserts that this IKE SA is the only

   IKE SA currently active between the authenticated identities.  It MAY

   be sent when an IKE SA is established after a crash, and the

   recipient MAY use this information to delete any other IKE SAs it has

   to the same authenticated identity without waiting for a timeout.

   This notification MUST NOT be sent by an entity that may be

   replicated (e.g., a roaming user's credentials where the user is

   allowed to connect to the corporate firewall from two remote systems

   at the same time).  The INITIAL_CONTACT notification, if sent, MUST

   be in the first IKE_AUTH request or response, not as a separate

   exchange afterwards; receiving parties MAY ignore it in other

   messages.



My question is whether INITIAL_CONTACT notification can be sent in IKE_AUTH
response?

If yes, in which condition this notification will be sent by responder?



Could you please clarify?


Regards,
Pavan M
