[strongSwan] Issue with Charon daemon’s Crash using 2 milli-second delay

[Chinmaya Dwibedy]

Hi,

Can anyone please confirm whether this is a bug in strongswan (5.0.4)? I initiated more aggressively by decreasing the delay (2 milli-seconds) between initiations for each thread. Could able to achieve the IKE setup rate 500+ (Encryption algo: AES, DH group 1 and integrity algorithm: SHA1) per Octeon chip. But getting the crash issue after sometimes.

Thank you in advance for your help and support.

Regards,
Chinmaya

Hi All,
I am using the load tester plugin of strongswan (5.0.4) and
running with 250k IPsec tunnels (DH group 1, Encryption algo: AES and integrity
algorithm: SHA1).  We are using two
Multi-Core MIPS64 Processors with 16 cnMIPS64 v2 cores (one acts as an IKE
initiator and another as an IKE responder). We are running strongswan in both
systems. Both the systems have 1Gbps Ethernet cards, which are connected to 1
Gbps L2 switch. The Wind River Linux runs on all the 16 cores.
I am running with 5 initiators and 50000 iterations. If i
configure/use a delay of 2 milli-second, the charon (At IKE Initiator) is
getting crashed. Here goes the back trace. Is it a bug in strongswan or I am
missing something? Please note that, if I use 10 milli-second delay, it works
fine.
