It would be helpful to include a terminology section, for those not so familiar with HIP. section 1.2: "HIT-based lookups" expand HIT on first usage section 2.3.5: Are there any specific references to the "initial specification attempts?" To solve this problem, the HIP layer could inform the transport layer of mobility events. This method, known as transport triggers, is still under research although initial specification attempts have been made in the IET section 2.5: I can't quite parse this sentence: Although counter-examples exist, e.g. SCTP is a large unit in the kernel, the Linux community resisted incorporating the HIP code. It's not clear to me what SCTP is a counter-example for? section 3.2: are there an acronym expansions for "HI" and "I2"? when the HI is encrypted, middleboxes in the network cannot verify the signature of the I2

- A lot of this document would apply to any overlay or alternative n/w approach and not just HIP. Might be worth a mention in the abstract? - not all acronyms are expanded on 1st use, e.g. sigma, beet, tap - I wondered what were the "controversial experiences" on p10. Seems a shame to tease the reader like that. - What is an "I1" on p13? And "I2" on p17. Maybe expand those to the full message names or something? - Isn't TKK now Aalto? (p15 & p23) - A reference for the "double jump mobility" problem on p19 would be good.

A very good document. I would like to see more of this type describing experience in implementation and deployment of protocols developped in the IETF.
