services.strongswan-swanctl.swanctl.connections.<name>.children.<name>.rekey_bytes

Number of bytes processed before initiating CHILD_SA rekeying. CHILD_SA rekeying refreshes key material, optionally using a Diffie-Hellman exchange if a group is specified in the proposal.

To avoid rekey collisions initiated by both ends simultaneously, a value in the range of rand_bytes gets subtracted to form the effective soft volume limit.

Volume based CHILD_SA rekeying is disabled by default.

StrongSwan default: 0
