<div>Hello,</div>
<div>In our <a name="SECTION00033000000000000000"></a>Bump In The Wire IPsec implementation (<font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">strongSwan 4.5.2-al</span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">4</span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">)
</span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">the INFORMATIONAL </span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">messages</span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> are </span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">periodically</span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">

is not </span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">“</span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">seen</span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">”</span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
by Linux </span></font><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">this seems normal.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">There is any way to “tell” to strongSwan that there is traffic in order to avoid sending INFORMATIONAL messages in this case?</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Thank you for help</span></font></div>
