This document considers a VPN end user establishing an IPsec Security
Association (SA) with a Security Gateway using the Internet Key
Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2), where at least one of the peers
has multiple interfaces or where Security Gateway is a cluster with
each node having its own IP address.

The protocol described allows a peer to clone an IKEv2 SA, where an
additional SA is derived from an existing one.  The newly created IKE
SA is set without the IKEv2 authentication exchange.  This IKE SA can
later be assigned to another interface or moved to another cluster
node.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
