[strongSwan] Ping does not come back / but its visible in tcpdump

Hi,

I am new to strongswan and I just had to setup a connection to a Lancom 
router. So far, I worked through the documentation and the ikev2 tunnel 
gets established and policy-based routing installed.

Now I am trying to ping the vpn gateway using the internal network 
address. I can see the packet leaving in tcpdump, I can see in the 
Lancom traces the receipt and response created (to correct virtual 
address using correct tunnel) and I can see in tcpdump on the client 
also that a package comes back. However, ping says it did not get 
anything. This is the same also when I shut down the firewall and set 
everything to accept, so it should not be a firewall issue.

Here is my swanctl.conf
connections {
   home {
       version = 2
       local_addrs  = A.A.A.A (external IP of client, no NAT involved)
       remote_addrs = B.B.B.B(external IP of lancom, no NAT involved)

       local {
          auth = psk
          id = clst01 at km-logistik-service.de
       }
       remote {
          auth = psk
          id = B.B.B.B
       }
       children {
          home {
             remote_ts = 10.131.208.0/24,10.166.47.8/29

             updown = /usr/lib/ipsec/_updown iptables
          }
       }

       vips = 0.0.0.0
    }
}

secrets {
    ike {
       secret = *****
       id = B.B.B.B
    }
}

Here is connection start with swanctl

Here is tcpdump from what I think is the ping and its response (pinging 
10.166.47.12 which is assigned to Lancom on ethernet port 1):
22:03:20.304824 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 1894, offset 0, flags [DF], 
proto ESP (50), length 140)
     A.A.A.A > B.B.B.B: ESP(spi=0xbf3e0bb5,seq=0x224), length 120
22:03:20.320540 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 57, id 34530, offset 0, flags [none], 
proto UDP (17), length 148)
     B.B.B.B.ipsec-nat-t > A.A.A.A.ipsec-nat-t: [no cksum] UDP-encap: 
ESP(spi=0xc9012da8,seq=0x223), length 120

I am just clueless now and any help is appreciated. Let me know if any 
further information is required.
