Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
for the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol for IPv4 (ILNPv4)
Abstract
This document defines an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) extension
to support the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol for IPv4 (ILNPv4).
ILNP is an experimental, evolutionary enhancement to IP. This
document is a product of the IRTF Routing Research Group.
Status of This Memo
This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
published for examination, experimental implementation, and
evaluation.
This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community. This document is a product of the Internet Research Task
Force (IRTF). The IRTF publishes the results of Internet-related
research and development activities. These results might not be
suitable for deployment. This RFC represents the individual
opinion(s) of one or more members of the Routing Research Group of
the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Documents approved for
publication by the IRSG are not a candidate for any level of Internet
Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 5741.

1. Introduction
This document is part of the ILNP document set, which has had
extensive review within the IRTF Routing RG. 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.
At present, the Internet research and development community are
exploring various approaches to evolving the Internet
Architecture to solve a variety of issues including, but not
limited to, scalability of inter-domain routing [RFC4984]. A wide
range of other issues (e.g., site multihoming, node multihoming,
site/subnet mobility, node mobility) are also active concerns at
present. Several different classes of evolution are being
