Hi Lingyuan,you just need provide the initial (working) mapping in hosts files (or from command line with hipconf). The IP address can then change dynamically during the streaming session and hipd handles mobility management procedures automatically.
P.S. HIPL also includes some DynDNS extensions for mobile clients, but I don't think you need it your experiments.

Sorry that this is becoming too long. I am looking to produce this scenario even if IP of client is changing: - run hip on both client and server - streaming video from server to client (using HIT) I read from the manual that hipdnsproxy can be used, but with mapping information in either hosts file or DNS. Then is it true that each time my client changing IP address (say in Wifi/DHCP environment), I must manually update mapping to get the above scenario work? Or there is another way around to detect another HIT dynamically? I know that HIP is meant for finding the computer even if its IP address is changing, then I am really confused if I need to do mapping every time.

Regarding mapping, how can I add record to /etc/hip/hosts (I actually cannot find /etc/hip) and /etc/hosts? I cannot find info on HOWTO page.since you're not using the binaries, the directory is "/usr/local/etc/hip". I recommend using the binaries (make bin and install the daemon package from the current or .. directory). http://infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/manual/HOWTO.html#sec_easy_methods You can, for instance: * overload everything in /etc/hosts files (HITs/LSIs need to be before routables addresses) * spread HITs and LSIs in hip/hosts file and routable addresses in /etc/hosts (FQDN look up requires installation of HIP dnsproxy package) If you're doing some quick testing, maybe just go for the first approach. Remember that the hostname (FQDN) binds the different entities in the hosts files together.And is it possible for a HIT to have multiple mapping (IPv4 and v6 on multiple interfaces)? How to do that?You can have several mappings in the hosts files, but hipd just picks up the first one.Thanks again.

I installed all the dependencies, and built from source (./configure && make && sudo make install). hipd was started on both server and client (which are all on a same ethernet router). And I follow the instruction on: http://infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/manual/HOWTO.html#sec_vlc I have some problem getting HIT address, "hipconf get ha default" does not return an address to me,you found a typo in the manual, it should be: hipconf daemon get hi default I fixed this, the manual is going to be updated during the night.so I use the IPv6 address from the interface dummy0 (presumably this is HIT, right?). But I cannot see video from client.Start with something simple like: hipconf daemon add map PEER_HIT PEER_IP ping6 PEER_HIT ssh -6 PEER_HIT Remember that IPv6 addresses (or HITS) are specified inside brackets [] to VLC. Alternatively, you can use LSIs (requires hipfw daemon) or set hostname mappings in /etc/hip/hosts and /etc/hostsCan any one help and explain? Thanks a lot.HTH, Miika.
