Let me try to understand this statement better. Are you saying
that testing an address pair is the job of the ESP/AH module,
or that it belongs to the IKEv2 functionality already specified
(even without MOBIKE extension)?

I think you must mean the latter. Here's why: the current IKEv2
approach to this appears to be DPD, which works through IKEv2
messages, right? Or am I missing something?

(Certainly the lack of ESP packets might be a HINT that something
is wrong, but you wouldn't know if it was due to lack of need
to send packets until you try with DPD.)
