The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension' (draft-ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis-08.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Host Identity Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Suresh Krishnan and Terry Manderson. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis/ Technical Summary This document defines a rendezvous extension for the Host Identity Protocol (HIP). The rendezvous extension extends HIP and the HIP registration extension for initiating communication between HIP nodes via HIP rendezvous servers. Rendezvous servers improve reachability and operation when HIP nodes are multi-homed or mobile. This document obsoletes RFC5204. Workgroup Summary There was WG consensus behind this document. Document Quality: As discussed in RFC 6538, there are several implementations of the Experimental HIP specs. At least HIP for Linux and OpenHIP will be updated to comply with the standards-track specs. Personnel Gonzalo Camarillo is the document shepherd. Terry Manderson is the responsible area director.
