IPSEC traffic duplicated on interface.

[Christiaan den Besten]

Hi all !

Not really sure this is a kernel, or a netfilter issue, but posting anyway.

After trying to determine the 'overhead' of my ipsec traffic, I hit a 
rather annoying 'feature'.

(Using racoon ipsec with default debian-kernels 2.6.x kernels, but issue 
was with 2.4 as well if i remember correctly.)

Traffic on the outgoing interface (eth0) shows both the encapsulated as 
well as the non-encapsulated packets.

--- (tcpdump -i eth0 -n ) ---
15:24:20.003088 IP 172.20.40.45.45707 > 10.136.100.1.48193: .

Using default tools a la 'iptraf' count them both, so it would look like 
my adsl-line is doing 11Mbit :)

Is there any way to prevent the kernel from showing the data inside the 
tunnel ? (172.20.40.45 <> 10.136.100.1 is the tunneled traffic).

bye,
Chris
