Introduction This document specifies an extension to the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) [RFC7401]. The extension provides a generic means for a host to register with a service. The service may, for example, be a HIP rendezvous server [RFC8004] or a middlebox [RFC3234]. This document makes no further assumptions about the exact type of service. Likewise, this document does not specify any mechanisms to discover the presence of specific services or means to interact with them after registration. Future documents may describe those operations. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. Laganier & Eggert Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 8003 HIP Registration Extension October 2016 2. Terminology In addition to the terminology defined in the HIP Architecture [HIP-ARCH], the HIP specification [RFC7401], and the HIP Rendezvous Extension [RFC8004], this document defines and uses the following terms: Requester: a HIP node registering with a HIP registrar to request registration for a service.Show full document text
