[strongSwan] IKE_SA_INIT response with notification data missing

[Balaji Thoguluva Bapulal]

Thanks Andreas, will take a look at it. Is there any reason why UDP checksum in the packet shows as wrong in the wireshark?

Hi Balaji,

RFC 4739 "Multiple Authenticaton Exchanges in IKEv2"

   https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4739#section-3.1

defines the format of the MULTIPLE_AUTH_SUPPORT Notify Payload as

3.1.  MULTIPLE_AUTH_SUPPORTED Notify Payload

    The MULTIPLE_AUTH_SUPPORTED notification is included in the
    IKE_SA_INIT response or the first IKE_AUTH request to indicate that
    the peer supports this specification.  The Notify Message Type is
    MULTIPLE_AUTH_SUPPORTED (16404).  The Protocol ID and SPI Size fields
    MUST be set to zero, and there is no data associated with this Notify
    type.

So I don't understand why you expect notification data?

Regards

Andreas
