Hi Don,

Interesting. The datalink itself may not have an IP address at all though.

What we are planning to do is use a broadcast IP address as well as
Broadcast MAC address for the destination address and push the packet over
the link. The receiver is using only the physical data channel to determine
the data channel over which the packet came (addreses are themselves not
used).

Maybe you can add some text regarding this in the draft? Do you know of
other implementations of the draft so that we can think of some interops?

Thanks,
Vishwas
