A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

         Title           : Establishing Host Identity Protocol
 			  Opportunistic Mode with TCP Option
         Author(s)       : J. Lindqvist
         Filename        : draft-lindqvist-hip-opportunistic-01.txt

    This document specifies an alternative opportunistic mode for the     Host Identity Protocol (HIP). The opportunistic mode is initialized     by adding a 128 bit Host Identity Tag (HIT) as a TCP option to a TCP     SYN packet. The mode allows a TCP connection to be established     directly without a timeout delay in the case the peer does not     support HIP.

The draft was simplified by removing the piggybacking alternative. Also, an open issues section was added. A student has started to implement this approach in the InfraHIP project at TKK.
