Xiaohu, Your RANGI makes me think about further improvements of TARA: What is addressed by the IP-address might better be addressed by the host identifier of HIP. Whereas adressing the destination DFZ-router can be done better by means of its geographical location id, derived from its longitude / latitude position, which is a) non-political/more stable and b) summarizable (each point can be the center point of circles of any radius around). (= a main difference to RANGI's countrycode / reagion code ...). Then you don't need neither IPv4 nor IPv6 addresses. Is it a sacrileg to have thoughts like this? BTW, can anyone of the LISP supporters tell me and all the others how many ALT routers will be needed as to cope with today's (tomorrow's) internet ?

In fact, the RANGI proxy borrows some idea from the map&encap approach to support communication between RANGI-aware hosts and legacy IPv4/v6 hosts. To some extent, the map&encap can be considered as transition strategy for a host-based id/locator split approach.That's to say, the Strategy A and B (Herrin's Taxonomy)can be complementary. Any comment welcomed.
