XIP can offer security of a router at an affordable cost to the home owner without leaving the homeowner exposed by having an unsecured 24x7 Internet connection
XIP can provide the following benefits:
What all of this means is that XIP can offer security of a router at an affordable cost to the home owner without leaving the homeowner exposed by having an unsecured 24x7 Internet connection. Without a continuous connection, the home owner can't reach any of the Internet appliances from remote locations, which means that many of the functions that companies are touting for Internet appliances are useless. Why would you need to turn on your heater or air conditioning over the Internet if you had to be in your house to do it? One of the very first "killer apps" for XIP may be interactive game playing. XIP will allow multiple users on one private network to interact with users on another private network while maintaining the protection of a NAT router. This will eliminate the need to provide a "game host" web site with private information about your computer and IP address, which will help prevent email (spam) from unwanted advertisers and promotions.
- Allow unrestricted access to a nearly unlimited number of devices on private (NAT) networks.
- Work with existing IPv4 end-node machines and appliances.
- Operates over the existing public Ipv4 infrastructure.
- Is transparent to applications, not requiring special gateways in traditional NAT routers.
- Provides for DNS mechanism for discovering machines on NAT networks.
- Allows for easy encryption of transport layer headers and data for a low cost, low overhead virtual private network.
- Reduce the requirement for real IP addresses by taking advantage of the main feature of NAT routing.

There are many other benefits of XIP. The biggest benefit to the manufacturer of the " "gateway to the home" is that XIP provides a low cost, easy to implement solution to the problem of providing routing, multiple addresses for a private network and security without having to wait for the infrastructure of the Internet to change.
