Yes, this is finally a real-world example. It may address/locate/identify some particular letter box among a bin of such letter boxes, e.g. if you add an additional bin number in front of 123 High Street. The delivery service ends there. No matter who (which person) picks it up from there.With all such letter boxes being nodes of the postal delivery network, that network is thousand times bigger than the DFZ-core of the internet, and will never have a scalability problem. Just wordsmithing, morphing, etc. does not bring out a good solution. Each solution may create its own terms like sender/receiver or initiator/responder or source/destination or ITR/ETR....and may introduce them up front.

To use a real-world example, the real-world 'locator': 123 High Street, Bigtown, Green County, Outer Luvania just names a particular _place_ - and says _nothing_ about _any_ paths to it (although one would usually expect all paths to it to eventually travel along High Street, etc). In general, my real-world analogue for 'locator' (at least, in terms of their _functionality) is 'street address' - and so, when thinking about properties of locators, I tend to use street addresses as a mental model. I would suggest we could all benefit from doing the same. Noel _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
