Hi all,
FYI, this version contains just minor fixes regarding Gen-ART and IESG review comments. 


Cheers,

	Title		: Basic HIP Extensions for Traversal of Network Address Translators
	Author(s)	: M. Komu, T. Henderson, H. Tschofenig, J. Melen, A. Keraenen

This document specifies extensions to the Host Identity Protocol
   (HIP) to facilitate Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal.  The
   extensions are based on the use of the Interactive Connectivity
   Establishment (ICE) methodology to discover a working path between
   two end-hosts, and on standard techniques for encapsulating
   Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packets within the User Datagram
   Protocol (UDP).  This document also defines elements of a procedure
   for NAT traversal, including the optional use of a HIP relay server.
   With these extensions HIP is able to work in environments that have
   NATs and provides a generic NAT traversal solution to higher-layer
   networking applications.
