Mobility and Multi-homing Protocol for IKEv2 (MOBIKE)

The Mobility and Multi-homing Protocol (MOBIKE) for IKEv2 provides the ability for maintaining a VPN session, when a user moves from one IP address to another, without the need for reestablishing IKE security associations with the gateway. For example, a user could establish a VPN tunnel while using a fixed Ethernet connection in the office. MOBIKE allows the user to disconnect the laptop and move to the office's wireless LAN without interrupting the VPN session.

MOBIKE operation is transparent and does not require any extra configuration by you or consideration by users.
