Hi Paul,

Is it possible to provide the exact requirements for this feature? which
kernel version and which iproute2 version? We want to push this feature to
our production and would need to do packaging ourselves.

Also, we currently use racoon+netkey to do policy-based vpn and pluto+klips
to do route-based vpn. With this new feature, will we be able to do both
with pluto+netkey? How to do policy-based VPN without racoon?

Thanks,
Xinwei
