Hi Valery,
Thanks for bringing this up with the WG!
I agree that retransmissions of IKE packets within the TCP stream may be
pointless, and add to congestion. We do mention this for ESP packets over the
TCP stream (Section 12.2 Added Reliability for Unreliable Protocols), but it
doesn’t call
Hi Valery,
I agree that generally retransmits are not useful or needed with TCP
encapsulation. But as I see it, retransmits might actually be required
in some situations. If the client sends e.g. a CREATE_CHILD_SA request
but the TCP connection is closed or gets unusable for some reason before
