No. That is not correct. BRDP lets even a node with only 1 network interface learn about and use as many border routers as exist. > It also seems that VET do not integrate multipath > transport protocols in the architecture? I don't know what "VET" means, so can't comment on VET. ILNP actually enhances multi-path transport protocols, such as the (UK) UCL work on MP/TCP. However, it is important first to note that ILNP *by itself* enables a multi-path TCP implementation -- without requiring any TCP protocol extensions/options. Further, ILNP's approach also enables any other transport-layer protocol to instantly become multi-path capable. To provide a single example of how ILNP can enhance existing proposals for MP/TCP, combining ILNP with MP/TCP enables one to use a single IPsec session with a multi-path TCP connection. By contrast, with current IPsec, one would need to have a separate IPsec session for each pair of TCP endpoints. So the key management complexity associated with MP/TCP would be reduced from O(M * N) to O(1) -- which is a very significant benefit and quite complementary to existing work within the MP/TCP area.
