RE: Stupid NAT tricks and how to stop them.

Noel,

Please recall that IP addresses are currently serving two semantic

speaking of the latter. (e.g., HIP)

Huh? Did you mean "identifiers are a lot easier to deal with if they're
location-independent"?

If that wasn't a typo, and you really meant what you said, the whole
*point* of locators is to include location information. A "locator
[which is] location-independent" is an completely oxymoron.
