In kenel 2.5.47, ipsec is implemented .
Can some body tell me the difference between kernel ipsec with
frees/wan?
Two implementations of the same protocol suite, IPsec. FreeS/WAN works
(at least) for 2.4.x and older kernels, native 2.5.x implementations
speaks for itself :-). The seem to interoperate well, though.
It seems FreeS/WAN was never accepted by Linus for some reason (sure,
there must be a reason :), and for the upcoming 2.6.x kernel some people
did a brand-new implementation, included in the standard kernel sources.
Native kernel 2.5.x IPsec implementation uses user space tools from the
KAME project (*BSD), whereas FreeS/WAN uses its own.
You can learn more about IPsec in 2.5.x at lartc.org.
Hope it helps.
