Re: [Hipsec] Comments on draft-cao-hip-geolocation

Hi, Cullen,

Thanks for your comments,

It could be understand from another direction, if the mobile users use HIP.
Here are some reasons listed below.

-- HIP has the  security mechanisms (i.e. ENCRYPTED)
-- GEOPRIV security framework can be integrated into HIP call flow
-- the geo-location changes of mobile user may not be cared or covered by
many applications.
-- delivering geo-location in HIP can provide the generic mechanism and
interface for the up-layer applications;
-- delivering geo-location in HIP can greatly reduce the redundant work for
up-layer applications.
Basically, operator sometime prefer use infrastructure layer to transmit
this information.

thanks for your understanding.
Best regards,
