Version 0.8 July 2011

  • numerous bugfixes since the 0.7 release (see the bug tracker)
  • use IANA allocated HIP UDP port 10500 instead of 50500
  • contribution from Alexander Kiening: process RVS addresses from DNS response
  • improved mobile router to allow a mobile node behind one mobile router to connect to a mobile node behind another mobile router
  • support for mobile router double-jump
  • implement SA timeout, expiration
  • various endbox improvements
  • code to support OpenWRT compilation under ARM architecture

Version 0.7 October 2009

The big changes are:

  • HIP now operates over UDP by default, allowing you to initiate connections from behind a NAT
  • mobility handovers between IPv4 and IPv6 now possible in the mobile router mode

Here is a list of changes with greater detail:

  • changes from 0.7_RC1 to 0.7 include fixing a shutdown bug, mobility bug, secret key issue, and not sending locator parameters in R1 messages (unless --enable-mobile-router is used)
  • cleanup of the NAT code and implementation of the nat-08 draft for HIP/ESP over UDP that shares the same port 50500; removed all STUN code and options, now uses UDP by default for IPv4
  • cleanup command-line options
  • rewrite and cleanup of registration and rendezvous code in support of RFC 5203 and RFC 5204
  • update to mobile router code to allow address family handovers when changing the MR's public address; cleanup of mobile router code, globals changed to static locals; support IPv4 in mobile router
  • update to --enable-sma-crawler=(config) option, files-based configuration library; now uses OpenSSL engine interface, removing OpenSC dependencies
  • restructure the HIP configuration library code to put common code in a base class
  • tested on Windows Vista, XP, Fedora 11, Ubuntu 9.04, CentOS 5.3, Mac OS X

Version 0.6 May 2009

This is a maintenance release that fixes several bugs, and introduces the following new code:

  • Boeing's Secure Mobile Architecture (SMA) implementation
  • Smartcard support with LDAP configuration API
  • Mobile router implementation of draft-melen-hip-mr-02.txt (Note: This is not an interoperable implementation with a draft-conformant implementation, but more of a demo-level implementation of the key features of HIP mobile router).

Note that instructions for building and configuring these new options are being developed, check this wiki (Usage) for updated information.

0.6 Supported platforms

We've tested the OpenHIP 0.6 release on these platforms:

  • Linux
    • Ubuntu 9.04 with openhip_0.6_i386.deb

    • CentOS 5.3 amd64 built from hip-0.6.tgz source
  • Windows
    • Windows XP SP3 with openhip-0.6-install.exe
    • we have not tested Windows Vista yet, and have reports of problems receiving data into apps
  • Mac OS X
    • Apple Macbook i386 Darwin 8.9.1 kernel built from hip-0.6.tgz source
    • Apple Powerbook PPC

0.6 RFC/draft conformance

  • RFC 5201 Host Identity Protocol (updated)
  • RFC 5202 Using the ESP Transport Format with HIP (updated)
  • RFC 5206 End-Host Mobility and Multihoming with HIP (updated)

Version 0.5.1 June 2008

This is just a small maintenance release, for interoperability.

  • Update Protocol Number to "139" to align with published RFC 5201.
  • Add known host identities for infrahip machines
  • Fix a parameter ordering problem

Version 0.5 October 2007

This version implements the following IETF Internet Drafts:

  • draft-ietf-hip-esp-06.txt
  • draft-ietf-hip-mm-05.txt
  • draft-ahrenholz-hiprg-dht-01.txt

In addition, one can follow draft-ietf-hip-applications-01 and use this implementation with legacy applications and APIs.

  • draft-nikander-hiprg-hi3-00.txt
  • draft-ietf-hip-registration-00.txt
  • draft-ietf-hip-rvs-00.txt
  • draft-schmitt-hip-nat-traversal-02.txt
