Description
following is log, seems MOBIKE change ip message not received at the last time. then IOS client can not access network.
is this a normal behavior and no workaround to better user experience?

Are you really using 5.3.3? Looking at the current code I see that the retransmits are sent to the currently known remote host, which should have been updated by the MOBIKE exchange (I think it is like this since 5.2.1).
it's 5.3.3.
retransmits are send to know host, but seems the MOBIKE exchange message lost no the way (is this possible?), then server do not know the vpn connection is broken, either iOS client knows.
so both side can not communicate any more since ip changes, and both sides can only wait for time out . is my analysis correct?

The following INFORMATIONAL exchange with an UPDATE_SA_ADDRESS notify should update the known address of the peer to jjj.kkk.38.38:
Sep 21 05:59:59 63[NET] <vpnabc_ios_ikev2|5> received packet: from jjj.kkk.38.38[44083] to mmm.nn.18.231[4500] (124 bytes) Sep 21 05:59:59 63[ENC] <vpnabc_ios_ikev2|5> parsed INFORMATIONAL request 17 [ N(UPD_SA_ADDR) N(NATD_S_IP) N(NATD_D_IP) ] Sep 21 05:59:59 63[ENC] <vpnabc_ios_ikev2|5> generating INFORMATIONAL response 17 [ N(NATD_S_IP) N(NATD_D_IP) ] Sep 21 05:59:59 63[NET] <vpnabc_ios_ikev2|5> sending packet: from mmm.nn.18.231[4500] to jjj.kkk.38.38[44083] (116 bytes)
So the following is wrong, it should have been sent to jjj.kkk.38.38 instead:
Sep 21 06:01:11 05[IKE] <vpnabc_ios_ikev2|5> retransmit 6 of request with message ID 0 Sep 21 06:01:11 05[NET] <vpnabc_ios_ikev2|5> sending packet: from mmm.nn.18.231[4500] to xxx.yy.212.25[4500] (116 bytes)
And I now saw what the problem is. When the peer supports MOBIKE, DPDs are handled by an ike_mobike task, for which retransmits are handled specially (not directly in the task manager). Unfortunately, there the addresses in the retransmitted packet were not updated. I pushed a fix to the 1125-mobike-addr-update branch.

Thanks, Tobias.
Is this also affect Android iKEv2+MOBIKE?
And for my previous question, what for this case: client MOBIKE message was lost and server do not know the ip changed, what will happen?

Not on the client, as the server probably won't update its endpoint. But if you have Android clients then on the server the same thing could happen.

Didn't get that this was a question. If the message was lost the dpdaction will apply after the configured number of retransmits. In a roadwarrior config this is usually dpdaction=clear, so the SA is just removed. If the client later sends messages to the server these won't result in a response, therefore, after a few retransmits, it will close the SA too and then probably reestablish it, but that depends on the client's implementation.

ike-mobike: Send retransmits to the current local and remote addresses
These might have changed by a peer-initiated MOBIKE address update.
Fixes #1125.
