Additionally I have now built and installed Linux-4.6.4 and run the debug script.
Setup is unchanged from the previous one, except that Node 1 is now running Linux-4.6.4.

Node 1: fd01:1b10:1000::1 is running 4.6.4

Debug log from Node 1, Receiver running 4.6.4:

Betreff: AW: IPv6 IPSec incompatibilities between 2.6.23 and 3.6.18 (and
probably later)

Ilan and Shanker,
I did as you asked.
Setup: Three nodes all connected to the same Ethernet hub.
Node 1: fd01:1b10:1000::1 is running 3.18.36
Node 2: fd01:1b10:1000::2 is running 2.6.23.12
Node 3: fd01:1b10:1000::3 is running 3.18.36 and generates the traffic with
the command "ping6 -I lan1 ff0e::1"

All three nodes are configured with the following script (IP6ADDR adjusted
for every node):
==================Begin==========================
#!/bin/bash

IP6ANYADDR=::/0
IP6BCAST=ff0e::1
KEY="0x7bef6ecaf06d29ef55b24aca6e19964b332e02e75be676a3"
#IFNAME=radio
IFNAME=lan1
IP6ADDR=fd01:1b10:1000::X
PREFIX6=64
SPI=0x1

ip link set dev ${IFNAME} up
ip addr add ${IP6ADDR}/${PREFIX6} dev ${IFNAME}
echo "flush; spdflush;" | setkey -c
echo "add ${IP6ADDR} ${IP6BCAST} esp ${SPI} -m tunnel -E aes-cbc ${KEY};" |
setkey -c
echo "spdadd ${IP6ANYADDR} ${IP6BCAST} any -P in ipsec
esp/tunnel/${IP6ADDR}-${IP6BCAST}/require;" | setkey -c
echo "spdadd ${IP6ANYADDR} ${IP6BCAST} any -P out ipsec
esp/tunnel/${IP6ADDR}-${IP6BCAST}/require;" | setkey -c
===================End===========================

To capture the debug information I used the following script:

==================Begin==========================
uname -a
echo "tcpdump -lni lan1 -c 5"
tcpdump -lni lan1 -c 5
echo "cat /proc/net/xfrm_stat"
cat /proc/net/xfrm_stat
echo "ip -s xfrm state"
ip -s xfrm state
echo "ip -s xfrm policy"
ip -s xfrm policy
===================End===========================

A difference between 2.6.23 and 3.6.18 is the value of the Masks in the
policies:

2.6.23: enc-mask ffffffff auth-mask ffffffff comp-mask ffffffff
3.6.18: enc-mask 00000000 auth-mask 00000000 comp-mask 00000000

I have no idea, what these masks mean. Is this important?

Hi Joerg,

First steps to debug this would be:
cat /proc/net/xfrm_stat
ip -s xfrm state
ip -s xfrm policy

First command will show some error accounting, which can point to the
culprit code.
Second and third command will show existing objects, and some statistics
like when the last packet was used with them.

Last thing - for your safety you should keep those session keys private.

Ilan.

Hi Joerg,

See the "use -" instead of a date/time of last usage (like in your output from 2.6)
Packets are received, but nothing is matched to your xfrm states and policies.

Are you sure this is the full output of "ip -s xfrm policy"? I feel like something is missing.

At first glance I'd say it looks like src+dst doesn't match the packets.
Packet source-ip is ::3, while xfrm-state source ip matches::1

AW: IPv6 IPSec incompatibilities between 2.6.23 and 3.6.18/4.6.4

I'm tracking this down and I *think* I found it. I think it's not really an IPsec issue.
Something changed between 2.6.x and 3.x regarding the handling of multicast packets. If
I call "iperf -s -u -V -B ff0e::1" and those join ff0e::1, things start to work.
