Hi all,

In my attempt to answer Lixia’s question why using FQDN for ID and Locator 
lookup is a problem (see the following email), I occasionally found a doubt 
about ILNP. That is : how a legacy host continues the communication to an 
ILNP-aware host once the latter changes its locator due to mobility or 
re-homing event. Note that the legacy host is not that intelligent so as to 
resort the DNS to get the new locator of the ILNP-aware host.


A legacy host treats all ILNP hosts as simply other legacy hosts. Thus, an ILNP host that changes its locator and wishes to correspond with other legacy hosts must also change its IPv6 address (and AAAA DNS record).
