Hi Scott,

I like this a lot better.

It's still missing something though. LISP's LOC is definately a kind
of locator but it doesn't change when I move one of my servers from
one internal LAN to another internal LAN and assign it an address from
a different subnet. I've changed my layer-3 attachment but the
locator, which is also layer-3, doesn't change.

Maybe something more like:

A locator names a point of attachment within the scope of the network
topology for which the locator is used. If an endpoint changes its
points of attachment within that scope,  associations between the
endpoint and locators will change.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
