[Swan] mark in route-based VPN

Hi,

In route-based VPN, mark is:

*mark=* The mark number to use for this connection's IPsec SA policy. It
will be used for all instances as well.

in the example, we have:

mark=5/0xffffffff

How are those numbers used? What do 5 and 0xffffffff mean here? What is the
guidance to select a number for it? e.g. when there are multiple VTIs
configured. Does this mark have anything to do with mark in iptables?


Thanks,
Xinwei
