As noted in (msg06105), in a number of messages I stated or implied
that ILNP requires upgrades to applications.  This was a mistake.
ILNP works with non-upgraded IPv6 applications.

Still, since AFAIK most applications only work with IPv4, ILNP would
require upgrades to most applications.

I now understand that GSE, GLI-Split and ILNP work with non-upgraded
IPv6 applications.  RANGI and Name Based Sockets require upgraded
IPv6 applications.  See my next message:

CES & CEE: GLI-Split; GSE, Six/One Router; 2008 sep./elim. paper (v3)

for an updated CEE architecture comparison table, which now includes
RANGI.
