Abstract

In this paper, we describe an architecture for the Host Identify Protocol (HIP) to automatically manage the path to be used between two hosts for a given traffic flow. Different simultaneous flows between the two hosts can take different paths. The architecture is based on and extends the Simultaneous Multiaccess (SIMA) HIP extension and the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) framework. A key property of the policy-based path management proposed in this paper is that it includes NAT (Network Address Translation) traversal functionality.
