Hi all,

We have two general question about StongSwan 5.5.1 and DPD when using multiple 
interfaces to same Gateway.
Our system is using up to Four GSM interfaces and one Ethernet interfaces ( The 
ethernet interfaces is directly connected to SatCom device). We create a VPN 
tunnel to the same Gateway for all interfaces. One of The issue we are having 
in when DPD timer expire on one interface but others are still connected to the 
Gateway. 
Note that our application binds to the Virtual address of the tunnel and not to 
the IP address of the interface. Also we are using VICI interface.

1- Are DPD rules apply  to individual tunnels? If one tunnel cannot communicate 
with  the Gateway but other are, what happen if DPD timer expires in only one 
of them?

2- When we set DPD action as restart, do we need to terminate  the current IKE 
after DPD timer expires or it is done automatically? 

3- In our case DPD behavior depends if we have only one interface or we have 
multiple interface connected to same Gateway. It is working when we have only 
one interface.

Any input is appreciated.

Thank you.
