IP address within user site
network is used as a component to identify a session, which is the role of IDENTIFIER.
Of course, it also plays a role of LOCATOR in user site network. But in the
transit network, the IP address mentioned above only has a role of IDENTIFIER. Best regards, Xu Xiaohu 发件人:
owner-rrg@psg.com [mailto:owner-rrg@psg.com] 代表 HeinerHummel@aol.com In my view the pair
"DNS name / IPv4 address" is a true ( identifier / locator
) -pair, whereas EID and RLOC are rather two locators separated by some
strict or loose hop. Imho LISP is pure two
loose hops routing. Isn't it ? LISP wouldn't make sense if there were no hop
between EID and RLOC, would it ? (in that case, what would be the meaning of
EID resp. RLOC ?) So working out the
double nature "identifier/locator" is first of all creating a special
aura of research. Is this too critical ? Heiner |
