I am using FAST_IPSEC on a multi subnet VPN with the guys on other side having Check Point VPN / Firewall. Its a VPN that does almost non stop usage, the people on the other side have 24 monitoring utils on it and its never had a problem. Its on 5.3 i386, and I fear to upgrade it, when it comes t

Michael, I not that sure if I'm right in checking what you suggested but when trying to do ping hostB from hostA with oversized packets through the IPSec tunnel by: # ping -c 10 -s 12000 10.128.6.1 I'm getting replies easily. While doing that and tcpdump'ing the gif interface, I'm seeing the fr

Volker, I have noticed the same problem. In my case, it only seems to happen when the traffic is being forwarded across interfaces and pf or ipfw is enabled. I use purely IPSEC so I would agree that GRE isn't the problem. This behavior is 100% reproducible for me. If traffic is forwarded
