translate a domain name into an HI. Using the DNS for this translate a domain name into an HI. Using the DNS for this
translation is pretty straightforward: We define a new HIP resource translation is pretty straightforward: We define a HIP resource
record. Upon query by an application or ULP for a name to IP address record. Upon query by an application or ULP for a name to IP address
lookup, the resolver would then additionally perform a name to HI lookup, the resolver would then additionally perform a name to HI
lookup, and use it to construct the resulting HI to IP address lookup, and use it to construct the resulting HI to IP address
mapping (which is internal to the HIP layer). The HIP layer uses the mapping (which is internal to the HIP layer). The HIP layer uses the
HI to IP address mapping to translate HIs and HITs into IP addresses HI to IP address mapping to translate HIs and HITs into IP addresses
and vice versa. and vice versa.
The HIP specification [RFC7401] specifies the HIP base exchange
between a HIP Initiator and a HIP Responder based on a four-way
handshake involving a total of four HIP packets (I1, R1, I2, and R2).
Since the HIP packets contain both the Initiator and the Responder
HIT, the initiator needs to have knowledge of the Responder's HI and
HIT prior to initiating the base exchange by sending an I1 packet..
The HIP Rendezvous Extension [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis] allows a HIP The HIP Rendezvous Extension [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis] allows a HIP
