[strongSwan] Can strongSwan support 100k concurrent connections?

[Eric Germann]

Just a minor point.  OpenVPN can create tun interfaces, although that one interface is associated with all the clients connecting to that port

tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
