[RRG] Re: Should the identifier be used as local locator

Hi,

The note referenced above does not correctly describe ILNP.
I'll leave it to others as to whether it correctly describes GSE.

- ILNP does NOT ever use the Identifier for routing/forwarding packets.
- The Identifier is only used for identity purposes in ILNP.

- ILNP *only* uses the Locator to route/forward packets,
  including when mobility or multi-homing are part of the deployment.

In any event, ILNP is different from GSE.

Cheers,

Ran
