It's just a mess. I think that we all can agree that a real locator/ identifier split is the correct architectural direction, but that's simply not politically tractable.

How is a split between locator / identifier any different logicaly from the existing ipv4 source routing?

I thought that got dead ended?

Or is a table lookup going to be needed?

Wont all those tables need to be in the exact (or close to) same place as the current routing tables?

Appreciate any enlightenment.
