Nor do I understand how you can make such a system to work in the first place. In particular, I don't understand how you can bootstrap an overlay if all nodes are behind NATs. > So, when the I1 message is forwarded on the overlay, the NAT > traversal problem needs to solved for each link on the path between > the Initiator and the Responder.

Indeed we do assume that you typically have an open HIP association with each of the nodes in your peer table; see the second paragraph in Section 3.2. Note that once you have an HIP association open, in principle it can be open an arbitrary long time. Hence, the overhead is not that big unless you have to keep NAT mappings open or whatever, which you would need to do anyway for reachability purposes. Secondly, having an open HIP association allows the nodes to inform each others about mobility or multi-homing events and maintain connectivity. > Moreover, the peer protocol needs to cope with NAT traversal for > other type of messages for the overlay maintenance, e.g. joins and > leaves, anyway. and again this is not solved by HIP, unless you do > HIP hop-by-hop. Well, that depends on how you implement joins and leaves. Our assumption was that you would establish an HIP association as a part of a join procedure. For example, first do an I1-R1 exchange for DoS protection, and then piggyback the join messages and ICE candidate exchange starting from the I2-R2 exchange (and using UPDATEs if more messages are needed.) > My conslusions from these facts here (please feel free to heavily > disagree and let me know if i am wrong) would be that: > > - *HIP actually does not solve the NAT traversal problem for > P2PSIP*, as it has been assumed. I would say that it solves it in a particular way, which is not much different from using plain ICE. The message formats are somewhat different, and the STUN/TURN servers are unified with the HIP BONE routing system (as they would be HIP rendezvous servers in the case of HIP). > - The peer protocol needs to cope with the NAT traversal by itself. Well, IMHO the peer protocol does not need to cope with NAT, if you always establish a HIP association first and let HIP to do it. Of course, one crucial question is what are the tradeoffs there. In particular, would the added support for security, multi-homing, mobility, and the architectural features to pay off for the four message exchange and the public key signatures. OTOH, if you would be relying on public key crypto for security anyway, then the overhead is minimal, and IMHO the question boils down merely into architectural factors. --Pekka Nikander _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list P2PSIP@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
