That scope is the case as defined today, but that can be changed. We can always define the capability for ECP/VDP to be sent to a specific unicast address. There is a precedent for that with LLDP & LACP. However, we then have to address the problem for how to discover that unicast address. > The only thing I'm trying to do is reuse the words "relay" and "proxy" as > they are used with DHCP to differentiate two classes of possible VDP > functionality in a bridge between an End Device and an NVE.
