Hi,

I finally managed to have look at the experiment report doc. Here's some comments and nits:


1.1.  What is HIP?

Could mention that Standards Track work has been started (in the end of the section).


1.2.  Scope

 During the timeframe of this report (2004-09), 

s/09/2011/


2.3.8.  Interactions with host firewalls

   When using HIP over UDP, the host needs to open
   just port 10500 in practice.

This seems to imply that inbound unsolicited packets to 10500 would be needed, which is not the case as long as ICE is used (except for the HIP relay server). I'd rather say something like "the firewall needs to allow outbound UDP packets and responses to them".


Cheers,
Ari
