      Hi Everyone,

      Just a quick question about IPSEC Key Lifetimes.

      If a file transfer were to take longer than the key lifetime, would the transfer fail?

      Thanks

        It depends on how sensitive the transfer type is to failure, and how long the renegotiation takes.

        If it's a quick renegotiation, and it drops a couple TCP packets, it should pick back up.
