A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Host Identity Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Native Application Programming Interfaces for
SHIM Layer Prococols
Author(s) : M. Komu
Filename : draft-ietf-hip-native-api-01.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 2007-3-8
This document proposes extensions to the current networking APIs for
protocols based on identifier/locator split. Currently, the document
focuses on HIP, but the extensions can be used also by other
protocols implementing identifier locator split. Using the API
extensions, new SHIM aware applications can gain a better control of
the SHIM layer and endpoint identifiers. For example, the
applications can query and set SHIM related attributes, or specify
their own endpoint identifiers for a host. In addition, a new
indirection element called endpoint descriptor is defined for SHIM
aware applications that can be used for implementing opportunistic
mode in a clean way.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-hip-native-api-01.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.
