AERO/OMNI use several address types with varying uniqueness properties:
1) Globally-unique or unique private IPv6 or IPv4 addresses that are configured
from
Mobile Network Prefixes (MNPs) that are administratively assigned to a node.
2) Administratively-assigned Unique Local Addresses (ULA) that are
algorithmically derived
from the MNPs, and therefore also unique.
3) Temporary ULAs that are locally generated through a 104 bit random number
generation
and therefore statistically assured to be unique for the (short-term)
duration that they
would be used. They include a well-formed IPv6 prefix and can be routed
the same as
an ordinary IPv6 address.
4) (Hierarchical) Host Identity Tags ((H)HITs) with uniqueness properties
established through
the HIP specifications and can also serve as an identity since there is
attestation. Also
compatible with IPv6 routing.
5) UUIDs (RFC4122) that have good uniqueness property but lack a well-formed
IPv6
prefix that would be useful for routing purposes. Still, a UUID could
conceivably serve
as an IPv6 "address" within a bounded local routing region that uses /128
prefix lengths.
I am not sure what this thread is talking about, but these are the address
types that
AERO/OMNI talk about and I think the list is comprehensive. Unless you can see
something obvious that is missing?
