Hi,

 

Reading
<http://www.potaroo.net/ietf/idref/draft-rja-ilnp-intro/rfcmarkup?repository
=/away/ietf&url=/away/ietf/all-ids/draft-rja-ilnp-intro-01.txt>
draft-rja-ilnp-intro-01.txt some questions came to my mind:
 
-----
"Identifiers are unique within the context of a given
Locator; in many cases, Identifiers might happen to be
globally unique, but that is not a functional requirement
for this proposal."
 

I don't understand how this works. If you can have duplicated IDs then what
happens if you have a conflict? (i.e. You move to another network where the
ID is in use by another host?). As IDs are also used to identify sessions I
also imagine trouble there.

-----

"There are no standardised mechanisms to update most
transport protocols with new IP addresses in use for the
session.  [NB: There is IETF work in progress to add this
capability into the Stream Control Transport Protocol
(SCTP).]"

 

Isn't this RFC5061 and therefore a standard more than a work in progress?

-----

Is this proposal suggesting that DNS should be responsible for finding the
hosts locators? Is a DNS update fast enough for that to work (i.e. with
mobility) or cached entries make it too slow?

-----

 

Thanks.

 

Regards,

Damian
