Abstract

This document specifies an alternative opportunistic mode for the Host Identity Protocol (HIP). The opportunistic mode is initialized by adding a 128 bit Host Identity Tag (HIT) as a TCP option to a TCP SYN packet. The mode allows a TCP connection to be established directly without a timeout delay in the case the peer does not support HIP.
