Hello,

I have a need for a userspace IPsec stack along with Strongswan (IKEv2) for keying. While examining the libipsec implementation, I became curious about the decision to use virtual interfaces vs. using kernel mechanisms such as Netfilter and Netfilter Queues to divert traffic to a userspace IPsec datapath stack.

No doubt I'm unaware of some of the design constraints, so to simplify the 
question, I'd ask:

"is there any reason one should *not* implement a userspace IPsec stack using Netfilter and NFQUEUEs in combination with Strongswan"?

Thank you in advance.

Plevin
