Hi Joerg,

See the "use -" instead of a date/time of last usage (like in your output from 2.6)
Packets are received, but nothing is matched to your xfrm states and policies.

Are you sure this is the full output of "ip -s xfrm policy"? I feel like something is missing.

At first glance I'd say it looks like src+dst doesn't match the packets.
Packet source-ip is ::3, while xfrm-state source ip matches::1

Ilan.
