IKEv2 Mobility and Multihoming Protocol

Overview

RFC 4555, “IKEv2 Mobility and Multihoming Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2006 by P. Eronen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes the MOBIKE protocol, a mobility and multihoming extension to Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2). MOBIKE allows the IP addresses associated with IKEv2 and tunnel mode IPsec Security Associations to change. A mobile Virtual Private Network (VPN) client could use MOBIKE to keep the connection with the VPN gateway active while moving from one address to another. Similarly, a multihomed host could use MOBIKE to move the traffic to a different interface if, for instance, the one currently being used stops working. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
