Sure, but if one of your sites is in New Zealand, and has a prefix
where the physical ALT hierarchy is optimized for sites in Europe, a
source in New Zealand trying to contact your site would see more
delay
during the Map-Request/Reply exchange, even though it they are in the
same town. However, Map-Request/Reply exchanges don't happen very
often, and the delay will be low (round trip across the Internet).
Or not at all if you're not the first folks communicating
between the sites.
As dino said, you can.
Let's say the site was using 10/8
The xTR in Europe would advertise 10/8 into the ALT.
The xTR in NZ would advertise 10/8 into the ALT
If you're in NZ, your map-request would be routed over the ALT to
that xTR
If you're in Europe, your map-request would be routed over the ALT to
that xTR.
If it is desired, the EID owner can modify the RLOC advertisements so
that
encapsulated data packets will go to the RLOC he wants them to.
If you want to move the EID-prefix to a different geographical
location, (NZ to Timbuctu)
withdraw the route from NZ and start advertising it from Timbuctu.
Yes the RLOC
will change. The ALT hierarchy doesn't change.
