Host Identity Protocol Multi-Hop Routing Extension

Overview

RFC 6028, “Host Identity Protocol Multi-Hop Routing Extension”, is an Experimental document published in October 2010 by G. Camarillo, A. Keranen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies two extensions to the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) to implement multi-hop routing. The first extension allows implementing source routing in HIP. That is, a node sending a HIP packet can define a set of nodes that the HIP packet should traverse. The second extension allows a HIP packet to carry and record the list of nodes that forwarded it. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
