[strongSwan] Issue with ipv6 fragmented packets

Hi,

I am using strongswan client for EAP-AKA scenario. Also I am using Strongswan 5.2.2.

I am able to establish a call with IPv6 and the virtual IP assigned to client is IPv4. Now when I am initiating a ping  of size less than MTU then ping is working fine, I can see IPv4 icmp packets encapsulated within IPv6 ESP packets. When I am trying to initiate a ping of size greater than MTU then I can see ICMP checksum is incorrect and I am suspecting the way inner ICMP packets are fragmented is incorrect.

Can anyone help me with this issue. If this is a kernel issue then is there any fix for that ?

I have attached the wireshark logs for ping packets of size 1600 bytes (MTU set to 1500 bytes). Key details to decrypt the wireshark is also attached to this mail.


Thanks and Regards,
Sunny
