Ran, I looked at the ILNP RFCs while we were preparing draft-carpenter-6man-ug-00, and it seemed to me that ILNP doesn't in fact use IIDs, but rather a redefinition of the bottom 64 bits as a Node Identifier [RFC6741]. Doesn't that separate the use of the u/g bits for ILNP completely from their

Hi, if we agree that the interface-id is just 64bits of nothingness, then there is no such thing as an unused IID space. pick whatever you like for the 4rd IID, but your protocol needs to deal with collisions. Dealing with collisions is very probably necessary anyway (virtual machine
