Hi,

If I understood the SEATTLE correctly, the keys used in ARP resolution and location resolution is IP address and MAC address respectively. Hence I have the following two doubts:

1.Have the scenario where different VLANs are associated with overlapping addressses been considered in SETTLE?

2.Have the scenario where different hosts are configured with the same MAC address occasionally but located in different VLANs been considered in SETTLE?

By the way, since the SEATTLE uses the idea of map&encap scheme and the cache scheme, let's consider more about the cache issues which have been discussed many times in the RRG mailing-list:

1.How to keep the location mapping caches on the ingress tunnel devices up to date, especially in the case of VM mobility?
