On the Shrew website one of the known issues listed is:

"Will negotiate but not honor lifetime kilobytes for SAs"

I have a few questions about this:

Is there any more detailed information about what this means?
Does this apply for both phase-1 and phase-2?
What happens if "Key Life Data Limit" values are set in the user interface?
Are there any known problems that can occur as a result of this limitation?


The life bytes parameter was added because some gateway configurations will only negotiate with a peer if they supply the parameter. The client does not enforce the life byte restriction. This means that you could potentially encounter a situation where the peer thinks the SA has expired ( due to the life bytes max being reached ) but the local client still thinks its valid.
