Hi, I think that Joel made a good point in a previous mail.
RFC6830 defines EID&RLOC as IPv4 and IPv6 addresses but does not prohibit the definition of EID & RLOC in other types/form. The intro document can simply state this fact and reference LCAF as ongoing work to add extensibility to LISP. On the other hand, may be the LCAF document should update the definition of EID and RLOC accordingly. ciao Luigi On 12 Oct 2014, at 04:23, Dino Farinacci <[email protected]> wrote: >> The very first page of the Intro document says that RLOCs and EIDs can be >> syntactically different from IP addresses.
