I don't think you are confused. I think, as long as we support the 'conversion' of existing prefixes to EID prefixes*, then the complexity in the implementation to support this behavior must exist, and the corresponding value of having some destinations you don't have to ask the mapping system about is reduced. -Darrel * and I think supporting this is a MUST _______________________________________________ lisp mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lisp
