IPv6 on VoLTE

IMS 3GPP specification requires SIP integrity and confidentiality. You
may see IPsec/IPsec security association on the device when it is
communicating and/or registered with P-CSCF (uses SIP protocol). With
VoWiFi IPsec is used to establish a tunnel between UE (user
equipment/phone) and mobile network operator packet core (EPDG node).
So they're two different use cases.
