RFC 5204: Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8004.

Current version: RFC 8004 — Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines a rendezvous extension for the Host Identity Protocol (HIP). The rendezvous extension extends HIP and the HIP registration extension for initiating communication between HIP nodes via HIP rendezvous servers. Rendezvous servers improve reachability and operation when HIP nodes are multi-homed or mobile. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
