Abstract:
This document specifies extensions to the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) to
facilitate Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal. The extensions are based on the use of the Interactive Connectivity
Establishment (ICE) methodology to discover a working path between two end-hosts, and on standard techniques for encapsulating
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packets within the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). This document also defines elements of
a procedure for NAT traversal, including the optional use of a HIP relay server. With these extensions
HIP is able to work in environments that have NATs and provides a generic NAT
traversal solution to higher-layer networking applications. This document defines an
Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
