Hi,

I have an established HIP connection between 'oops' and 'crash'. I have been playing around with changing the IPv6 address of eth0 on oops while the session is ongoing. After some tests I deduced that in HIPL, oops will initiate a re-key (defined in section 3.2.1.1 of ietf-draft-hip-mm-03.txt) when the prefix of its new IPv6 address is different to the prefix of its old IPv6 address. If the prefix is the same, then it will send an UPDATE without a re-key (as defined in section 3.2.1 of ietf-draft-hip-mm-03.txt). I was wondering if anyone can tell me where in the HIPL code this policy is set?

thanks,
\steve
