The archives say strongswan said that their daemon supports a range, but the Linux IPSec stack supports only the subnets. I am writing to you to implement support for IP range in Linux. I think that a lot more people will appreciate this innovation.

I was a little not so put it:) I'd certainly be happy and he would write a patch, but I'm afraid do not have the necessary knowledge to implement IPSec Linux. I turned to you, the developers, but rather to urge you to implement this feature using IP range. I hope very much for your help and support. This is especially beneficial for all - the Linux kernel will be more flexible and more compatible with different devices and software.
