Hi,

I'm a newbie to StrongSwan. I often see the following configuration example:

        ike=aes256gcm16-aesxcbc-modp2048!
        esp=aes256gcm16-modp2048!

as seen in 
http://www.strongswan.org/uml/testresults/ikev2/alg-aes-gcm/moon.ipsec.conf, 
for example. 

In my understanding aes256gcm16 can do both encryption and integrity checking 
and that's why specifying "aes256gcm16-modp2048!" for esp suffices in 
"encryption-integrity-dhgroup" part. What I don't understand is why we need 
"aesxcbc" for "ike" in conjunction with "aes256gcm16"? Does this mean that 
aes256gcm16 can't be used for integrity checking for phase 1?

Regards,
