Subject: Document Action: 'An IPv6 Prefix for Overlay Routable Cryptographic
Hash Identifiers (ORCHID)' to Experimental RFC
The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'An IPv6 Prefix for Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers
(ORCHID) '
<draft-laganier-ipv6-khi-07.txt> as an Experimental RFC
This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an
IETF Working Group.
The IESG contact person is Jari Arkko.

Technical Summary
This document introduces Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash
Identifiers (ORCHID) as a new, experimental class of IPv6-address-
like identifiers. These identifiers are intended to be used as end-
point identifiers at applications and APIs and not as identifiers for
network location at the IP layer, i.e., locators. They are designed
to appear as application layer entities and at the existing IPv6
APIs, but they should not appear in actual IPv6 headers. To make them
more like vanilla IPv6 addresses, they are expected to be routable at
an overlay level. Consequently, while they are considered as
non-routable addresses from the IPv6 layer point of view, all
existing IPv6 applications are expected to be able to use them in a
manner compatible with current IPv6 addresses.
This document requests IANA to allocate a temporary prefix out of the
IPv6 addressing space for Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash
Identifiers.
Working Group Summary
This proposal comes from Pekka Nikander and Julien Laganier from the
HIP WG, as well as Francis Dupont which has been proposing the use of
identifiers similar to ORCHIDs in MIP6. This proposal was discussed
both in the HIP WG, the INT area mailing list, and partly during the
ALIEN BOF.
Protocol Quality
Jari Arkko has reviewed this specification for the IESG.
This proposal is currently implemented in all maintained HIP
implementations projects (i.e. OpenHIP <http://openhip.org>, HIP for
Inter.net <http://hip4inter.net> and HIP for Linux
<http://hipl.hiit.fi/hipl/>.
Geoff Huston (APNIC) has done a thorough review that resulted in the
change from an 8-bits prefix to a 28-bits prefix. This change has
permitted to gain consensus amongst both the IPv6 and Internet
community, and the HIP community.
A number of people commented this proposal during the IETF
Last Call. One of the issues raised was the conflict with
RFC 4291 rules. Given that an attempt to use another
allocation type would have resulted in significant IETF
work regarding the update of rules for such allocations,
it was decided that it is better to just note the discrepancy
for this experiment.
Note to RFC Editor
Please change "returned to IANA in 2027" to "returned
to IANA in 2014" (two occurrences). Similarly, please
change "additional 28-bit functionality" to "additional
functionality".
