John,
Quick question on terminology:
A = Application, i.e., API level and inside applications E = End-point (in the sense that Noel Chiappa and/or NSRG use/used the term)
Is the EID capable covering multiple IP addresses / interfaces? For example, if I have device with WLAN & GPRS, which have connections to different ISPs so the interfaces have different addresses, does a single EID cover both IP addresses?
Yes, it is capable of covering multiple IP addresses / interfaces.
I'm asking the above in a termonologic sense, not a technologic sense, as the technology may still need to be determined.
From http://users.exis.net/~jnc/tech/endpoints.txt:
An "endpoint" is thus defined as one participant of an end-end communication; i.e. the fundamental agent of end-end communication. It is the entity which is performing a reliable communication on an end-end basis.
