So, this could lead to security holes quickly in practice. If the application needs to know this, it can query this using a getsockopt or similar call: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-btns-c-api-01.txt > In general, i think it is a good practice if the security of the application > does not depend on the security provided by the lower layers (under layer 4).

What prevents the application from requesting a specific security service from the lower layers? > Also, if you look at things how they work today, you don't want to establish > a VPN tunnel to a web server if you want to protect your HTTP traffic. You > would rather use TLS. You are using VPN as a synonym for IPsec which is not entirely correct. VPN usually means that usually you have a gateway. In HIP there is usually no gateway (end-to-middle), but instead the traffic is end-to-end. -- Miika Komu http://www.iki.fi/miika/ _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list P2PSIP@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
