F08-HP: No

Rationale

The selected HIP/ESP profile carries application UDP, which has no end-to-end transport connection. RFC 8046 preserves host-identity bindings and permits locator changes without replacing the HIP/ESP context, but that network-level continuity does not create a transport connection. This applies the same connection-specific boundary used for the selected IP, Yggdrasil and cjdns UDP compositions.

Assessment method

Documentary profile-boundary and source-path analysis; no execution

Source context

Primary RFCs and pinned PARC upstream source

Outstanding qualification

This is not a denial of HIP mobility: F23-HP remains Yes. A connected UDP socket is a local API association, not an additional wire-level connection. ESP SAs and HIP associations are below the selected application transport; DTLS in RI supplies a protected transport association and is a different composition. Adding TCP or broadening F08 to communication-context continuity would require a separate profile or criterion change. No runtime failure is alleged.
