softether doesn't have S2S like this.
Softether only does a kind of site to site using 2 softether installations. (lan-to-lan they call that)
You need to use for example strongswan/libreswan/openswan/etc to accomplish this type of S2S connection.

Two things:
1- SoftEther does not have IPSec tunneling mode, only transport mode. Which means you can use IPSec encryption through other tunneling protocol, for example L2TP. I'm working right now on IPSec tunneling mode for SoftEther, but not done yet:

2- The current implementation of SoftEther while supporting all the security associations you mentioned, but it indeed does not support S2S communication (AFAIK).

Strongswan has indeed S2S support. Look at the examples here:
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/st ... v2Examples

Sorry, I might have been mistaken. There's a documentation for Site to site SoftEther. But Ihaven't tried it myself.
https://www.softether.org/4-docs/1-manu ... L2_Bridge)

Hope this helps

SoftEther VPN can't be L2TPv3 initiator.
