[strongSwan] GRE over IPsec in Load-Tester Scenario

[Martin Willi]

Hi Mohan,

Please be aware that the load-tester plugin currently works for IKEv2
connections only, not sure if your Cisco box can handle this protocol.
If IKEv2 is used, traffic selector narrowing on the responder probably
should take care of limiting the tunnel GRE, if required. 

There currently is no protocol/port option in load-tester. You can,
however, change the sources in [1] to create both the traffic selectors
for protocol 47 only, something like:

> ts = traffic_selector_create_dynamic(47, 0, 65535);

Regards
Martin
