I see.

I would like to keep the socket option (to specify the initial locator, 
i.e., where to send I1 message) separate from SHIM_LOC_PEER_SEND because 
they are semantically different. Are you fine with adding a socket 
option something like SHIM_INITIAL_PEER_LOCATOR in the multihome shim 
API document (this one)? The socket option can be described as follows:

- The socket option allows application to specify the destination IP 
address to send HIP I1 message.
- This socket option is accepted only when the multihoming shim 
sub-layer is HIP. Otherwise, EOPNOTSUPP is returned.
- There is no specific requirements about the type of socket to which 
the setsockopt() is called (but it should be in an unconnected state as 
I mentioned in my previous email).
- There is no specific requirements about the presence of shim context 
associated with the socket either. (but there should be no shim context 
associated with the socket because the socket option is supposed to be 
called at the very beginning of the session)

Please let me know if the above sounds reasonable to you, Miika and Thomas.

Regards,
Shinta
