This entire paragraph is so misleading and it is not documented in any LISP specification that an identifier is composed of two parts. Also, in the LISP architecture, an EID or RLOC can be other than an IPv4 or IPv6 address. And an EID does not need to change when a host moves from one site to another. So, more to the point, why is this definition in the charter? Dino _______________________________________________ lisp mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lisp
