Hi Robin,

Your assumption and definition of "won't work" with ILNP is incorrect.

An application that specifies an address (and not a FQDN) can perform initial 
packet exchanges while the stack does a reverse name lookup followed by a 
forward lookup.

Note that this can be done in parallel with the initial exchange, so this 
introduces no latency.  Further, the results can be locally cached.

Finally, if the lookups do not succeed, the application is still effectively a 
legacy v6 application.  Since data is being transferred by the transport as 
requested, this constitutes 'working'.

Regards,
Tony
