Title : Traversing HIP-aware NATs and Firewalls: Problem Statement and Requirements

The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is a signaling protocol, which
supports mobility and multihoming by adding a new layer to the TCP/IP
stack. By carring relevant parameters in the signaling messages, HIP
can be used to establish IPsec encapsulating security payload (ESP)
security associations between two hosts. Middleboxes (e.g. firewalls
and network address translators) cannot inspect transport layer
headers of data traffic if that traffic is sent over an IPsec ESP
tunnel. However, HIP is designed to be middlebox friendly; it
enables the middleboxes to inspect the signaling messages. The
information that they can derive from that messages enables the
middleboxes to uniquely identify the subsequent data flows, e.g. for
the purposes of multiplexing and demultiplexing . A middlebox that
implements the relevant mechanisms is called "HIP-aware". This
document presents a problem statement and lists some requirements
that are necessary for a HIP-aware middlebox traversal technique.
These include authentication and authorization of signaling end-hosts
by the middleboxes. Such authorization will help the middleboxes to
decide whether or not an end host is allowed to traverse, and can
potentially limit unwanted traffic.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-tschofenig-hiprg-hip-natfw-traversal-04.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.
