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



I am not sure I follow this bit - if I am a multi-homed terminal
there is not a simple 1-1 mapping

Louise,

you are absolutely right.  A multi-homed host would get multiple
"host IDs", if we re-used the MAC address as a host ID.  This is
one of the disadvantages of such re-use.

Note that my comment didn't mean that I would favor such re-use.
Was just an observation.
