This document specifies a mechanism for a host to indicate via the
Port Control Protocol (PCP) which connections should be protected
against network failures.  These connections will then be subject to
high-availability mechanisms enabled on the network side.

This approach assumes that applications and/or users have more
visibility about sensitive connections than any heuristic that can be
enabled on the network side to guess which connections should be
check-pointed.
