Well, my objective is to measure the latency of each phase of IPSec communication session. I need insert some timing checkpoints in the IPSec code.<br>If what you said is unfortunately true, is the only solution to modify the source code of strongswan?

<br> No and certainly never will. SSL VPNs and IPSec are completly<br>different techniques, despite the fact both provides secure communication.<br><br> If you need to secure connection from your own program, stick with
<br>OpenSSL and forget IPSec. If you want to secure the whole network<br>traffic thus allowing your programs to transmit insecure data which will<br>be secured on the network layer, then IPSec is the answer for your<br>problems !
<br><br> IPSec secures things on network layer. SSL Secures things on<br>application layer.<br><br>--<br><br><br> Atenciosamente / Sincerily,<br> Leonardo Rodrigues<br> Solutti Tecnologia<br>
