Abstract

When Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) is used forremote VPN access (client to VPN gateway), the gateway assigns theclient an IP address from the internal network using IKEv2configuration payloads. The configuration payloads specified in RFC4306 work well for IPv4 but make it difficult to use certain featuresof IPv6. This document specifies new configuration attributes forIKEv2 that allows the VPN gateway to assign IPv6 prefixes to clients,enabling all features of IPv6 to be used with the client-gateway"virtual link". This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
