Hi Tony,

this does not really answer my question. Let me rephrase it: what is an endpoint?

Regards,

Hi Tony,

I haven't followed all the discussions. What I am missing is the definition of an endpoint identifier. Is it the name of a device attached at a certain location, i.e. an ephemeral identifier for that box (not interface) because it can be replaced by others and so that name is not permanent? That's just a guess and an extrapolation from its use in LISP according to my understanding. But it's not given in the text.

Apart from that, the definitions seem clear to me.


Hi Michael,

Along the way, we decided to separate the properties from the objects. Thus, in defining an 'identifier', we're defining entire classes of namespaces. Our agreement is that the object can then be attached independently of this. Thus, one can have an endpoint identifier, an interface identifier, a stack identifier, etc.

Regards,
Tony
