Hello,

I have 2 hosts each with an ipv4 address and and ipv6 address. I 
transport-mode for both, ipv4 and ipv6:

conn ei_dotter_ipv4
        auto=start
        type=transport
        left=10.10.10.1
        leftrsasigkey=%cert
        leftcert=eiCert.pem
        leftfirewall=no
        right=10.100.0.1
        rightrsasigkey=%cert
        rightcert=dotterCert.pem
        rightfirewall=no
        keyexchange=ikev2
        ike=aes128-sha-modp1536!
        esp=aes128-sha1!

conn ei_dotter_ipv6
        auto=start
        type=transport
        left=2001:1234:5678:3:0:5efe:a0a:a01
        leftrsasigkey=%cert
        leftcert=eiCert.pem
        leftfirewall=no
        right=2001:1234:5678:3:0:5efe:a64:1
        rightrsasigkey=%cert
        rightcert=dotterCert.pem
        rightfirewall=no
        keyexchange=ikev2
        ike=aes128-sha-modp1536!
        esp=aes128-sha1!


If the ipv6 interface dissappears on ei the ipv4 traffic stops working. One 
has to reload (or restart) ipsec. ipsec status shows that ei_dotter_ipv6 is 
now between 10.10.10.1 and 10.100.0.1 instead of 
2001:1234:5678:3:0:5efe:a0a:a01 and 2001:1234:5678:3:0:5efe:a64:1

This seams to disturb ei_dotter_ipv4

If mobike=no is added to ei_dotter_ipv6 this does not happen.

I think it does not make sense to move transportmode connections between ipv4 
and ipv6.
