Abstract

   This document provides an Architectural description and the
   Concept of Operations of some optional advanced deployment
   scenarios for the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP),
   which is an evolutionary enhancement to IP. None of the functions
   described here is required for the use or deployment of ILNP.
   Instead, it offers descriptions of engineering and deployment
   options that might provide either enhanced capability or
   convenience in administration or management of ILNP-based
   systems.

1. INTRODUCTION

   ILNP is, in essence, an end-to-end architecture: the
   functions required for ILNP are implemented in, and controlled
   by, only those end-systems that wish to use ILNP, as described
   in [ILNP-ARCH]. Other nodes, such as Site Border Routers (SBRs)

   need only support IP to allow operation of ILNP, e.g. an SBR
   should support IPv6 in order to enable end-systems to operate
   ILNPv6 within the site network for which an SBR provides a
   service [ILNP-ENG].

   However, some features of ILNP could be optimised, from an
   engineering perspective, by the use of an intermediate system (a
   router, security gateway or "middlebox") that modifies (rewrites)
