|
| Normally, if any one of VPN peers wants to disconnect |
|
|
| the connection, it should follow a serial of packet |
|
|
| exchange procedure to inform each other. However, if the |
|
|
| remote peer disconnect without notice, Vigor router will |

|
|
| of this VPN connection and react accordingly. This is |
|
|
| independent of DPD (dead peer detection). |
