Hi,
opportunistic mode with the help of a rendezvous server could be used
for implementing HIP-based anycast. The current RVS specification does
not allow this:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis-02
4.3.1. Processing Outgoing I1 Packets
An initiator SHOULD NOT send an opportunistic I1 with a NULL
destination HIT to an IP address that is known to be a rendezvous
server address, unless it wants to establish a HIP association with
the rendezvous server itself and does not know its HIT.
I think we could specify either a flag in the base exchange or
alternatively a special HIT encoding for the "NULL" destination HIT in
the I1. What do you think?
