Redirect Mechanism for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2
RFC 5685, “Redirect Mechanism for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2009 by V. Devarapalli, K. Weniger. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) is a protocol for setting up Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels from a remote location to a gateway so that the VPN client can access services in the network behind the gateway. This document defines an IKEv2 extension that allows an overloaded VPN gateway or a VPN gateway that is being shut down for maintenance to redirect the VPN client to attach to another gateway. The proposed mechanism can also be used in Mobile IPv6 to enable the home agent to redirect the mobile node to another home agent. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
