Title : Weak Identifier Multihoming Protocol (WIMP)
Author(s) : J. Ylitalo

This draft defines a Weak Identifier Multihoming Protocol (WIMP) for
IPv6 hosts. WIMP uses a new logical layer between networking and
transport layers that separates the end-point identifier and locator
roles from each other. The identifiers are used to name the
end-points, while IPv6 addresses are used for routing purposes. WIMP
is based on opportunistic security principles, and it does not
require any pre-configured security infrastructure. The protocol
consists of context establishment and re-addressing exchanges. The
context establishment exchange creates a state for both hosts. The
re-addressing exchange is used to update locator information at the
peer host. Used cryptographic operations are light and efficient.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ylitalo-multi6-wimp-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
