Thanks Paul. _updown will be called immediately when DPD determines the
connection is dead, only when dpdaction is hold or clear. For
dpdaction=restart, pluto will try to re-initiate main mode and on failing
to establish a connection will call _updown. I was asking for this case,
How do I calculate the time here? Consider that dpdaction is set to
restart and then, the ethernet cable is unplugged. In how much time will
_updown be called after peer is declared dead?
