You can register the new RLOC and new cachers will use it. Old cachers will use the old one. Now the question is, where is the EID, it can be the old, the new, and in transit (meaning offline).

If you are an EID that is at both RLOCs at the same time, and want to migrate from one (removing one of them), then this works per specs.

There is no such thing as overlap unless the EID has two interfaces each with an RLOC. But that is not the interesting handoff case. I know cells overlap but most phones have ONE cellular interface and therefore one RLOC at a time. I wish this could change, but the mobile OSes aren't there.

> Then there will be time where more then one RLOC is active and the old one can get pruned after the new one is tested as working fine. 

You have to define the details of "active". That is what brings interest to this discussion.

Its not that simple.
