[Openswan Users] Where did routes go with Openswan 2.6.31?

[Scott T. Cameron]

That's a problem with Windows, and most likely the bug around the number of
routes with non-default MTU routes incrementing but never decrementing.
 Over time, this caused Windows machines to become unresponsive over the
network.

There was a hotfix for this released by Microsoft.
