Re: [IPsec] Proposed work item: IKE/IPsec high availability andload sharing

I would like to coauthor IKE/IPsec high availability and load sharing.
Looks like a challenging and intereting problem.

Thanks

		This work item will define the problem statement and
requirements for a solution that allows interoperable HA/LS device

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.

	It is interesting work, and may well be valuable.
	It is not a priority to me, and I would not have time to work on
it.
	I might read a WG FC, and I might respond to threads, if I came
across
	them.
