Re: [RAM] Ramblings about "locator"

Marshall,

... 
Maybe the essential point is that a locator can at least in
principle be mapped to topology and an identifier can't.


If in Ethernet what is essentially a random number (the MAC address) becomes
a locator then maybe the distinction will never be crisp. 

Well, that horrible thought crossed my mind. I think I disagree
with Jarno's comment, because as soon as an Ethernet address
gets into a spanning tree it has become a locator (at level 2).
