This document is part of the ILNP document set, and has had
extensive review within the IRTF Routing Research Group. ILNP is
one of the recommendations made by the RG Chairs. Separately,
various refereed research papers on ILNP have also been published
during this decade. So the ideas contained herein have had much
broader review than the IRTF Routing RG. The views in this
document were considered controversial by the Routing RG, but the
RG reached a consensus that the document still should be
published. The Routing RG has had remarkably little consensus on
anything, so virtually all Routing RG outputs are considered
controversial.
Abstract
This document defines 2 new IPv4 options that are used only with
ILNP for IPv4 (ILNPv4). ILNP is is an experimental, evolutionary
enhancement to IP. This document is a product of the IRTF Routing
RG.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Identifier Locator Network Protocol (ILNP) is an proposal for
evolving the Internet Architecture. It differs from the current
Internet Architecture primarily by deprecating the concept of an
IP Address, and instead defining two new objects, each having

crisp syntax and semantics. The first new object is the Locator,
a topology-dependent name for a subnetwork. The other new object
is the Identifier, which provides a topology-independent name for
a node.
1.1 ILNP Document Roadmap
The ILNP Architecture document [ILNP-ARCH] is the best place to
start reading about ILNP. ILNP has multiple instantiations.
