         Title           : Socket Application Program Interface (API) for
                          Multihoming Shim
         Author(s)       : M. Komu, et al.

    This document specifies a socket API for the multihoming shim layer.
    The API aims to enable interactions between the applications and the
    multihoming shim layer for advanced locator management and also for
    accessing to information about failure detection and path
    exploration.

    This document is based on an assumption that a multhomed host is
    equipped with a 'shim' layer which essentially maintains mappings
    between identifiers and locators at the IP layer.  SHIM6 and HIP are
    examples of this shim layer.  Hence, the API can be commonly used by
    SHIM6 and HIP.
