FAST_IPSEC(?) drops packets?
I'm seeing a strange problem, but I don't really know where it's coming
from :( I have a router running NetBSD-current/i386 as of Feb 11, 2011
with FAST_IPSEC, but it seems like not every packet that comes in gets
sent out through the IPsec tunnel.
I ran tcpdump to capture packets on both the internal and external
interfaces of the router, then had Wireshark decrypt the ESP packets on
the external side and compared the two packet dumps. They match up fine
at first, but then:
On the internal IF (10.1.1.66 is a machine on my side of the tunnel,
10.2.1.3 is on the other side):
[...]

So the router saw those two packets marked with the *, but why didn't it
encrypt them and send them out the tunnel?
I had been running 5.1_STABLE with "regular" IPSEC up until Feb 11, and
didn't have any problems. I'm not exactly sure when this started
happening though, so I'm not certain that the upgrade had anything to do
with it... the tunnel mostly works fine, but occasionally TCP
connections will stall and close.
If there's any more info that would be helpful for figuring out what's
going on, let me know :)
