I would say yes, naturally it can. The question is probably
what can be considered as an appropriate demultiplexer.
So what is the issue exactly? Whether there should be an NSLP version
field in the NSLP protocol itself? The current alternative is to
use a different NSLP ID for each version, thus using the NSLP ID
in GIST as demultiplexing value. Since the NSLP ID is 16bit I guess
that there are no issues here. So as long as we assume GIST as
underlying transport (or some other protocol at least carrying session
ID, MRM, NSLPID and so on) there is no problem here. There is
only trouble if all you have is the NSLP data packet alone.
