I have read through draft-nordmark-multi6-noid-01.txt from an
applications perspective, and I have some generic questions. There are
of course many parts of the draft which I don't understand, so there
might be answers hidden somewhere.
I like pictures though ;-)
In draft-nordmark-multi6-noid-01.txt there is a picture:
---------------------- ----------------------
| Sender A | | Receiver B |
| | | |
| ULP | | ULP |
| | src AID(A) | | ^ |
| | dst AID(B) | | | src AID(A) |
| v | | | dst AID(B) |
| M6 | | M6 |
| | src L1(A) | | ^ |
| | dst L1(B) | | | src L2(A) |
| v | | | dst L1(B) |
| IP | | IP |
---------------------- ----------------------
| ^
-- cloud with some routers -------
src L2(A) [Rewritten]
dst L1(B)
Figure 2: Mapping with router rewriting of locators.
In this picture A send thinsg to B, and use as src AID(A) and dst
AID(B).
Questions:
If B send a packet back to A, can AID(B) be used as src, and AID(A) as
dst?
If B send a packet to C with src AID(B) and dst AID(C), can B send
AID(A) to C so C can use src AID(C) and dst AID(A)?
If both of these are true, let's dive into DNS/application issues...
