Hi Iljitsch, |I maintain that having a non-unique identifier in all packets doesn't |buy us anything useful: | |- can't use it to identify correspondents, so additional |identification necessary
Such as the locator, which is already at hand. |- can't filter on it, so this will be done on locators = no |renumberability The local site *can* guarantee that an identifier is unique, so it can in fact filter on inbound identifiers. Filtering on remote identifiers is trivially insecure (regardless of uniqueness) due to spoofing. |- can't look locators up using the id, so a working locator must |always accompany id = reduced multihoming and mobility I'm failing the logical leap here. Could you spell out where this is a problem?
