The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Using the Host Identity Protocol with Legacy Applications ' <draft-ietf-hip-applications-04.txt> as an Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Host Identity Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mark Townsley and Jari Arkko. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-hip-applications-04.txt Technical Summary The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) and architecture proposes to add a cryptographic name space for network stack names. From an application viewpoint, HIP-enabled systems support a new address family of host identifiers, but it may be a long time until such HIP- aware applications are widely deployed even if host systems are upgraded. This informational document discusses implementation and API issues relating to using HIP in situations in which the system is HIP-aware but the applications are not. Working Group Summary Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? No. Document Quality This document is based on the experiences of several HIP implementors. The Document PROTO Shepherd is Gonzalo Camarillo _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
