Currently, the document focuses on HIP, but the extensions can be used also by other protocols similar "shim" layer protocols. Using the API extensions, new SHIM aware applications can gain a better control of the SHIM layer and endpoint identifiers. For example, the applications can query and set SHIM related attributes, or specify their own endpoint identifiers for a host. In addition, a new indirection element called endpoint descriptor is defined for SHIM aware applications.}, }
