Host Mobility with the Host Identity Protocol
RFC 8046, “Host Mobility with the Host Identity Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2017 by T. Henderson, C. Vogt, J. Arkko. It obsoletes RFC 5206. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a mobility extension to the Host Identity Protocol (HIP). Specifically, this document defines a "LOCATOR_SET" parameter for HIP messages that allows for a HIP host to notify peers about alternate addresses at which it may be reached. This document also defines how the parameter can be used to preserve communications across a change to the IP address used by one or both peer hosts. The same LOCATOR_SET parameter can also be used to support end-host multihoming (as specified in RFC 8047). This document obsoletes RFC 5206.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
