Working on Voice over IP (VoIP) and peer-to-peer (P2P) got me interested in HIP for NAT traversal, for IPv4 to IPv6 transition, for mobility for multi-homing and for enhanced security; a quite complex list of challenges that can be met using HIP in Internet endpoints.

It is worth the quality time of its readers.
