Hi Roland,
apparently an endpoint can be multiple things. Therefore, I suggest to
add a defintion for an endpoint. It sounds like a name of a source or
target in communication on some layer. Examples would be helpful.
Regards,
Michael

this does not really answer my question. Let me rephrase it: what is an
endpoint?
What the term endpoint denotes depends on which level/layer you are
looking at: do you mean "host/end-system endpoint" or
"transport connection endpoint" or "application endpoint" etc.?
In case you mean an identifier for a "host" (which could be virtual
BTW), the given identifier definition applies, too. I don't see anything
special there. It's sure that also some locators/addresses will
lead to the "host" (or its interfaces/stacks) in order to deliver
data to it.

Roland
