> 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]
