MOBIKE was designed to handle the case where communication
is between the same peers, but the peers' addresses change.
When one of the peers change the problem becomes somewhat
different.

In IETF-65 there was a BoF, HOKEY, on handover keying, mainly
focused on EAP-based access authentication. If you have needs
for efficient handover from one SGW to another, it might be
useful to work on your problem in the HOKEY space to ensure
that IKEv2 EAP mode is one of the "accesses" where efficient
handover works.
