So I looked at v3.23 IKEv1.
- to your point, the STF_FAIL path contains the comment:
/* As it is, we act as if this message never happened:
* whatever retrying was in place, remains in place
- however to my point, it already contains code to send notifications and
delete the (quick) state - not exactly following the guidelines
Helps explain why STF_DROP and STF_IGNORE were added.
For a name change I don't know what to call them.
