-The peer <b>carol</b> and <b>moon</b> both have dynamic IP addresses, so that the remote end
-is defined symbolically by <b>right=%&lt;hostname&gt;</b>. The ipsec starter resolves the
-fully-qualified hostname into the current IP address via a DNS lookup (simulated by an
-/etc/hosts entry). Since the peer IP addresses are expected to change over time, the option
-<b>rightallowany=yes</b> will allow an IKE main mode rekeying to arrive from an arbitrary
-IP address under the condition that the peer identity remains unchanged. When this happens
-the old tunnel is replaced by an IPsec connection to the new origin.
-<p>
-In this scenario <b>moon</b> first initiates a tunnel to <b>carol</b>. After some time
-the responder <b>carol</b> disconnects (simulated by iptables blocking IKE and ESP traffic).
-<b>moon</b> detects via Dead Peer Detection (DPD) that the connection is down and tries to
-reconnect. After a few seconds the firewall is opened again and the connection is
-reestablished.
+The roadwarrior <b>carol</b> sets up an IPsec tunnel connection to the gateway
+<b>moon</b>. Both end points activate <b>Dead Peer Detection</b> (DPD) with a
+polling interval of 10 s. When the network connectivity between <b>carol</b>
+and <b>moon</b> is forcefully disrupted for a duration of 100 s, <b>moon</b>
+clears the connection after 4 unsuccessful retransmits whereas <b>carol</b>
+also takes down the connection but immediately tries to reconnect which succeeds
+as soon as the connection becomes available again.
