Tharanga, They want to know the "device" because they are assuming that you'll use a hardware device, but it's not the case. Just let them know the kind of setup you have (eg. StrongSwan version X.x running on Linux Distribution Y.y with Kernel version Z.z).
I don't know if host to host will do, you may need to use tunnel mode (since they _do_ usually run the VPN on a dedicated hardware box) , but you have to check with them in any case.
