Problem in IKE implemenation in linux(RACE CONDITION)

[Pranav]

hi everyone,
             I am working on IKE implementaion on linux.
i have got a problem in negoatiation when both the peers start negotiating
at the same time,
both peers acting as initiator causing race condition.

Race condition happens only when both the peer's start the same
application(like ping or telnet)with eachother at the same time.

can anybody help me out of this problem..

With Regards,
Pranav Jadhav

  Yes, in general you have to create both tunnels for receive.
  It is up to you to decide which tunnel to create for sending. 
  If you want to get rid of them, then wait 5 minutes, and then rekey
the tunnels.
