What’s new?

ver 4.7 1/26/2024

reworked CLI and YAML file support
adding HASH_ALG_NOTIFY value output in debug
fix a bug when reply to CHILD_SA rekey in transport mode, the USE_TRANSPORT notify is missing
now HASH_ALG notify debug output shows actual ALG name
now when receiving a IKE packet contains non-ESP marker on conn where NAT is not enabled is supported
now GW sendIKESAINITResp use the the conn to send response same as where the request is received
fix dshash related bug
fix pfs group related bugs
fix a bug where MyIKEv2 fragment IKE_SA_INTI pkt, which is not suppose to do

add UDP ping
enhanced client eap-file, and gateway EAP implementations, more stable and performant

use netlink as most of fastpath API calls, which increase the fastpath setup performance
fix some bugs related to eapsnoop
RA client IKE_AUTH request now include CFG_ATTR_INTERNAL_IP4_NETMASK

Support multiple SA proposals for IKE and CHILD SA
add TCP encap support RFC8229
add support INVALID_KE notification for tunnel responder
change EAP support for gateway to use EAP-start
add force using UDP encap
rewrite NAT detection related code
now client reauth will wait for all IKE_SA deletion finish before start new dial
many bug fixes

Add myikev2 daemon & controller support, controller could create tests based on a user specified recipe on multiple machines or multiple name spaces on same machine; see documentation for details;
Add support for IPsec transport mode
Add support for RFC4754, IKE and IKEv2 Authentication Using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)
Add tunnel flapping, which keep flapping tunnels up and down, could be used for stress testing
Add crash log file
Enhance ping test
varies other enhancements and bug fixes

Add tunnel responder support (IPsec gateway); support all existing MyIKEv2 features
Add ed25519 support
Add unique EAP credential per tunnel support for eap-snoop mode
Add auto generating ping src/dst address based on traffic selector
refined log support, fixed out-of-order issue
now allowing omit default config in ikeconf and pingconf
add jitter for rekey
add API/interactive-CLI for list and dump CHILD_SA
fixed some rekey bugs
Fixed many bugs, more efficient memory usage and better stability in large scale tests

add IKEv2 fragmentation reassembly part, now the feature is completed
EAP only auth (RFC5998)
New crypto:
- ChaCha20/Poly1305(RFC 7634), for both IKEv2 and fastpath
- curve25519 (dhgrp 31)
IKEv2 Repeated Authentication (RFC4478)
add IKEv2 initial_contact support
Some bug fixes

Now support 100K tunnels on a single socket 10 core Xeon CPU (E5-2650 v3), tested under following setup:
- HyberThreading enabled
- MyIKEv2 runs in a centos 7 VM (Qemu/KVM), with following resource allocated to VM:
  - 17 HT cores
  - 80G memory
  - A dual port 10GE NIC (Intel 82599ES) via PCI-Passthrough
- Key MyIKEv2 Config:
  - auth: psk
  - crypto: aes-cbc-128 and sha1, DH Grp 14, PFS enabled
  - lifetime: IKE 30min, CHILD 15min (MyIKEv2 is the rekey initiator)
  - DPD: enabled, interval 30s
- Memory Consumption:
  - After all tunnels created, memory Consumption is less than 56G
Add in-memory logging; enabled via by setting “loginmem” to true in setup file; if enabled, MyIKEv2 will keep logging msg in memory util test finish, it then write logs into file
Tunnel retry interval and max retry are now configurable via “tunnelretryinterval” and “tunnelmaxretry” in setup file; this is the time MyIKEv2 wait before retry if previous tunnel creation failed
IKE request re-tranmission interval and max retry are now configurable via “retraninterval” and “maxretran” in setup file;
Test result output has been enhanced, setup rate has been added, with option to use JSON format with “-j” command parameter
adding first phase support of IKEv2 fragment (RFC7383), only fragmentation is supported in this release
