Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the nice explanation.

> Support for multiple traffic selectors is a core feature of IKEv2, but

> SINGLE_PAIR_REQUIRED, which indicates that the responder requires

> narrow the TS).

unfortunately I see only this endless log when my remote_ts is
like this on my swanctl.conf:

remote_ts = 10.213.56.0/21,10.213.100.0/24,10.213.14.0/23,10.213.10.0/23,10.213.29.0/24,10.213.118.0/24,10.213.124.0/24,10.213.249.0/24,10.213.16.0/24,10.213.126.0/24,10.213.154.0/24

[every second it will start again...]

However I will try to do another test and I will update
this thread with more detailed information.
