Hi,

We are currently using HIPL with version 1.0.6-6. That is to say the one
from the repository.
We are testing mobility and multihoming performance of HIP.

We have a multihomed peer with three interfaces, and we would like this peer
to set a HIP connection with those three different IP addresses. In the
hipd_conf file, we set the options to locator on and shotgun off. We
expected to see some UPDATE message with LOCATOR payloads inside but could
not catch any with wireshark version 1.3.3. We took the one from the
INFRAHIP website.

When we added one new interface, no UPDATE message was sent, and when the
active interface is removed, we have no handover.

It seems that we have not activated the UPDATE message. I remember that in
previous version of HIPL there were in the hipd_conf file the options
handover soft | hard. Those options are still documented in the hipconf
command line, but does not work anymore. Do you know how can we activate
handover mechanisms with the current HIPL?

We also tried to set the shotgun option on. We expected that when initiating
the connection with the three interfaces we would have three HIP BEX. We see
three I1, R1, and I2 messages but only one R2. However even on the channel
where the BEX has been completed, our ftp does not send data.  Do you know
if this option can work with a regular FTP client server?
Maybe that could help,  we can see TCP_SYN, but no TCP_ACK from the server,
and the server has been started. So it seems the messages does not reach the
TCP layer.

One last question is do you know if that 's possible to modify the puzzle
difficulty from the hipconf file?

Regards,

Daniel
