I wrote another explanation of why the LISP protocol does not involve a separate namespace for Identifiers - and so why it is not a Loc-ID Separation protocol. http://www.firstpr.com.au/ip/ivip/namespace/lisp-not-loc-id/ This is a longer version of my arguments earlier in this thread because it assumes no knowledge of the LISP protocol or of the IRTF Routing Research Group work in recent years on scalable routing. Its good that the LISP protocol, Ivip and Iron are not Locator - Identifier Separation protocols: "Overloading" of Loc & ID functions is good for hosts and should be maintained 2010-06-22 http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rrg/current/msg07017.html - Robin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
