[strongSwan] Is there any document on strongswan and pf_key usage ?

[Mahendra SP]

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the timely reply. It is really helpful.

Yes, I am looking from developer's perspective. Would it be appropriate to
contact the developer mailing list ?

If you have additional details, do let me know.

Thanks
Mahendra
