But for a rekey, the initiator could just send the currently used negotiated 
transforms. It knows these are accepted / favoured. If for some reason the 
currently used transforms are no longer accepted, it could do a new initial 
exchange after the rekey failed, or another rekey attempt with more ciphers.
So the gain should not be measured against the 120 transforms.

Strongswan is known to send everything it got. Which is a giant amount. With 
debugging enabled, the entire code was so slow the exchange timed out. We had 
to rewrite proposal parser to be smarter.

But I only expect such a large set on the initial exchanges - not on rekeys.
