Hi Alper,
Suppose both a PaC and a PAA are in access phase, and the PaC sends a
ping request while the PAA sends a PAR to start re-authentication at
the same time. Then PAA will not accept the ping request because it
has entered re-authentication phase. If ping is allowed in any
state, then PAA can answer to the ping request.
I think the issue is about having two outstanding requests (one PANA-Ping
and one other) at the same time. The PAA (or PaC) having to respond to a
PANA-Ping-Request while it has an outstanding request shall not have a
problem. What do you think?
I think in this scenario we may already be treating PANA-Ping in a
special way already since we are not
strictly lock-stepping anymore; i.e., ping processing seems independent
and in parallel of other exchanges.
regards,
victor
