Sure, I'm definitely open to changes, and in particular with the congestion 
info report. This is just the first draft. :)

So my reading of IKEv2 indicated that one way notifications were supported, not 
that they were *only* to be used for unprotected error notification though. 
Yes, they are currently only used for errors, but again I didn't read they were 
restricted to that use alone.

The reason I did not want to make the report sending reliable is that they are 
continuously sent on an relatively short interval. It didn't make a lot of 
sense to be re-sending a possibly growing queue of reports repeatedly, when the 
latest one would do.

Thanks,
Chris.
