Hi Bhargav,

Which version are you using?  In releases before 4.5.3 the close action,
which is triggered by a peer closing the CHILD_SA, was the same as the
DPD action.  So dpdaction=restart would cause charon to reestablish the
CHILD_SA if it is closed by the per.  In newer releases the behavior on
properly closed SAs can be configured with the closeaction option.

Tobias
