So true. And it would seem that i) is a clear indication of the
amount of overloading that we've applied to the IPv4 namespace.
Is a group address a locator or ID?
For LISP, it is considered an EID since it doesn't map to topology
and when a host moves around and stays joined to the group, the
group address doesn't change. So it is close to your definition of
"Identifier".
I have a typo above. Please s/EID/ID.
I'd concur with identifier. Is there some issue with that?
Just wondering if you should include a group address in your
definition. Up until now, I think everyone is thinking about unicast-
type addresses.
And also, to bring up the point Joel made, an anycast address is also
known as a way to use (or abuse) a unicast address. Rather than having
a formal definition and encoding (like IPv6 does).
