Re: [Hipsec] HIP Registration problem

Hi,
yes, that's the truth. Since HIP does provide a mechanism as DAAP of MIP, we are just considering a method of providing fault torlerance for RVS in HIP. For some mobile nodes, the high availability is very important, however the availability of these mobile nodes is mostly decided by the availability of the corresponding RVS who serves them. This RVS fault torlerance can not be easily implemented through updating the entries in DNS, because of the high latency and the cache mechanism used in DNS.

Hi,
there's no such thing as "home agent" or "home area" in HIP. This is one
of the differences to MIP. The same rendezvous server can be reused
independently of the current network using the UPDATE procedure.
Remember also that the rendezvous server forwards only the first I1 or
the first UPDATE packet, so it's still a light-weight operation even
though the latency be longer. The rendezvous server does not forward any
application payload.
Fault-tolerance for RVS may fall into the category of local policies
(?). Changing the "current" RVS requires also an update to the DNS
records. Another strategy could be just to publish multiple RVS servers
in the DNS and send packets to all of them (which ever happens to be alive).
