[IPsec] Proposed work item: IKE/IPsec high availability and load sharing

This work item will define the problem statement and requirements for a 
solution that allows interoperable HA/LS device groups. Mixed-vendor 
clusters are specifically out of scope; but single-vendor clusters should 
be fully interoperable with other vendors’ devices or clusters. The main 
challenge is to overcome the strict use of sequence numbers in both IPsec 
and IKE, in HA and LS scenarios. Following the Hiroshima discussion, the 
WI is initially focused on defining the problem, rather than a particular 
solution.

Proposed starting point: 
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-nir-ipsecme-ipsecha-00.txt.

Please reply to the list:

- If this proposal is accepted as a WG work item, are you committing to 
review multiple versions of the draft?
- Are you willing to contribute text to the draft?
- Would you like to co-author it?

Please also reply to the list if:

- You believe this is NOT a reasonable activity for the WG to spend time 
on.

If this is the case, please explain your position. Do not explore the fine 
technical details (which will change anyway, once the WG gets hold of the 
draft); instead explain why this is uninteresting for the WG or for the 
industry at large. Also, please mark the title clearly (e.g. "DES40-export 
in IPsec - NO!")._______________________________________________
