Great idea and a long time coming. Glad to hear.

I’ll add more to Fabio’s list when I respond in another email to his email.

This is fine but I am a bit worried we’ll spend time on “texting” and not 
creating anything new. We are way overdue in progressing use-case documents 
that people want to deploy, so I would like to make sure one work item doesn’t 
gate others. 

That is, I hope we can work in parallel. Where I do believe we WILL NOT lose 
focus.

A very good idea IMO. But let’s not put creeping featurism into the exist RFC 
6830, if that was your reference to “refocus the specification”. I assume you 
mean RFC 6830?

My experience with LISP (2 implementations and years of operation and 
deployment experience) that we can come down to a few protocol solutions that 
handle many use-cases. So the general IP address mobility use-case solves many 
other high-level use-cases.

That is VM-mobility and LISP Mobile-Node is the same solution it just a 
question if the EID and RLOC live in the same node (the former it does not but 
the latter it does).

I’ll respond to Fabio’s email with more details.
