Folks,
The following text is lifted from Section 6.1. At best, it is difficult to
parse. At worst, it is incorrect. Is there a better way to distinguish between
an IED and a LOC?
Rn
"The second key concept is that if one wants to be as forward-looking as
possible, conceptually one should think of the two kinds of names (EIDs and
RLOCs) as naming different classes of entities.
On the one hand, EIDs are used to name nodes - or rather, their end- end
communication entities. RLOC(s), on the other hand, name interfaces, i.e.
places to which the system of routers sends packets.
This distinction, the formal recognition of different kinds of entities
("endpoints" and interfaces), and their association with the two different
classes of names, is also important. Clearly recognizing interfaces and
endpoints as distinctly separate classes of objects is another improvement to
the existing Internet" architecture."
