Alive Check
During communication between two IPSec peers, one of the peers may become unavail-
able, e.g. due to routing problems or a reboot. However, this can only be detected when
the end of the lifetime of the security connection is reached. Up until this point the data
packets are lost. These are various methods of performing an alive check to prevent this

ate contains alternative subject names (see

ternative subject name by default. Make sure you and your peer
both use the same name, i.e. that your local ID and the peer ID
your partner configures for you are identical.
