For libreswan we use a system that generates various VM images using a network install and libvirt, and then fires off multiple VMs, login in over serial, and run various tests and output. Then we compare the output with known good output. This includes a tcpdump of the network. Additionally, we use 9p filesystem mounts to install updated versions and read/write configs/logs, so we can still access binaries and write logs even if IPsec has hosed full network connectivity. There is nothing really specific to libreswan for this, and it could be used generally for other systems that need to perform network based tests. It might be worth it to look at what we have already built and see if we can stick to one version of a testing harness for multiple packages?
