RFC 5266, “Secure Connectivity and Mobility Using Mobile IPv4 and IKEv2 Mobility and Multihoming”, is a Best Current Practice document published in June 2008 by V. Devarapalli, P. Eronen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Enterprise users require mobility and secure connectivity when they roam and connect to the services offered in the enterprise. Secure connectivity is required when the user connects to the enterprise from an untrusted network. Mobility is beneficial when the user moves, either inside or outside the enterprise network, and acquires a new IP address. This document describes a solution using Mobile IPv4 (MIPv4) and mobility extensions to IKEv2 (MOBIKE) to provide secure connectivity and mobility. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
