[Oisf-users] IPSec handshake and AF-Packet

There are no rules triggered associated with VPN.

When you run TCPDump, you see traffic on the inbound interface but no traffic on the other interface.

Only use the packet copying of AF-Packet mode.  No other bridging.

- interface: eth0
    threads: 6
    cluster-id: 99
    cluster-type: cluster_flow
    defrag: yes
    use-mmap: yes
    buffer-size: 64535
    copy-mode: ips
    copy-iface: p1p1
  - interface: p1p1
    threads: 6
    cluster-id: 98
    cluster-type: cluster_flow
    copy-mode: ips
    copy-iface: eth0
    defrag: yes
    buffer-size: 64535
    use-mmap: yes

Does it trigger any rules?

How did you configure the AF-packet mode exactly? Do you use bridging?
