IPv4 and IPv6 address alignment is supported.

Feature Description

The User Equipment (UE) must consistently receive IP address assignment during Wi-Fi to LTE handover or conversely. For dual stack UEs requesting both addresses, due to the operator's choice and network preferences, UE receives either IPv4 or IPv6. In subsequent handovers, the UE will request based on the previously assigned IP address type. To ensure the IP address alignment between LTE to Wi-Fi HO or conversely, ePDG sends IPV4_ONLY_NOTIFICATION or IPV6_ONLY_NOTIFICATION in the IKE CFG_REPLY payload based on the allocated IP address. This feature complies with 3GPP TS 24.302 Release 15.

For more information, see the IPv4 and IPv6 Notification for IP Address Alignment section in the ePDG Administration Guide.
