1. 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].

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.
