[Authors] Taking into account that road-warrior case is not considered in the I-D (only host-to-host and gw-to-gw) and Paul’s comment I think we can safely remove the leaf initial-contact, correct?.

Moreover the Security Controller is the one providing this identity to the NSFs so I think this case would not be possible, would it?.

[Authors] Our model allows the Security Controller to set the IV in the SAD in the IKE-less case.

leaf iv {
	nacm:default-deny-all;
        type yang:hex-string; 
        description 
		"ESP encryption IV value"; 
}

[Authors] We have a doubt here: if the IKEv2 endpoint that cares about this performs the re-key or re-auth, it needs to know when this event happens. I guess IKEv2 implementation would be expecting a notification from the kernel like xfrm_replay_notify(struct xfrm_state *x, int event) when a xfrm_replay_overflow happens (see for example : ftp://grids.be/mirror/ftp.ingenic.cn/DevSupport/Linux/Bison/kernel-3.10.14/net/xfrm/xfrm_replay.c)

is this correct?

We have also observed several types of overflow: xfrm_replay_overflow_bmp (not sure about the purpose of this, any clarification?), xfrm_replay_overflow_esn, xfrm_replay_overflow

if that is the case, we should include that notification in the model for IKE-less case so that the Security Controller is aware of this situation. However, wouldn't it be enough to use the number of packets lifetime instead of having this new threshold (in xfrm we have seen replay_maxdiff and replay_maxage as such as threshold).

Best Regards.
