RE: [RRG] Renumbering...
Hi Scott,
|How mappings

|mappings should refer to aggregates.
Good, we agree.
|But the EIDs, or whatever you want to call them, in a map-and-encap
|scheme do not have to be the "identifiers" that (afaict) were the point
|of this thread. Map-and-encap is about routing and forwarding, not
|identification. We can have tokens (one or more) that fill all the
|needs of identification without being closely associated with routing
|and forwarding.
This seems like semantic wrangling to me. EIDs are still the input to the
mapping function and to have the mapping aggregate, then there can be a need
to renumber EIDs.
