This is particularly important for higher number of segments, but even
with small numbers there is a significant difference. For instance,
with 4 segments the fourth segment had no IPs assigned with the old
code, no matter how large the pool, because none of the eight bits used
for the segment check hashed/mapped to it.
Upcoming versions of FreeBSD will include an SADB_X_EXT_SA2 extension in
acquires that contains the reqid set on the matching policy. This allows
handling acquires even when no policies are installed (e.g. to work with
FreeBSD's implementation of VTI interfaces, which manage policies
themselves).
In case a subnet is moved from one interface to another the policies can
remain as is but the route has to change. This currently doesn't happen
automatically and there is no option to update the policy or route so
removing and reinstalling the policies is the only option.
Fixes#2820.
The peer might not have seen the CREATE_CHILD_SA response yet, receiving a
DELETE for the SA could then trigger it to abort the rekeying, causing
the deletion of the newly established SA (it can't know whether the
DELETE was sent due to an expire or because the user manually deleted
it). We just treat this SA as if we received a DELETE for it. This is
not an ideal situation anyway, as it causes some traffic to get dropped,
so it should usually be avoided by setting appropriate soft and hard limits.
References #2815.
If a lot of QUICK_MODE tasks are queued and the other side
sends a DPD request, there is a good chance for timeouts.
Observed this in cases where other side is quite slow in responding
QUICK_MODE requests (e.g. Cisco ASA v8.x) and about 100 CHILD_SAs
are to be spawned.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#115.
The task manager for IKEv1 issues a retransmit send alert in the
retransmit_packet() function. The corresponding retransmit cleared alert
however is only issued for exchanges we initiated after processing the
response in process_response().
For quick mode exchanges we may retransmit the second packet if the peer
(the initiator) does not send the third message in a timely manner. In
this case the retransmit send alert may never be cleared.
With this patch the retransmit cleared alert is issued for packets that
were retransmitted also when we are the responding party when we receive
the outstanding response.
