Folks,

AFAIKS, a LISP site can contain two hosts with the same EID (e.g., 192.0.2.1). LISP uses the Instance-ID to distinguish between the two hosts.

If this is the case, does LISP really create two namespaces. Or does it create:

- one namespace for RLOCs
- another namespace for each Instance-ID

If the later, we should fix the document.
