Yes, but overlay routers do not drop packets to/from 240.0.0.0/4 addresses. And since those EIDs are in encapsulated packets the underlay routers don't see them. > 3) I believe that our proposal, EzIP (phonetic for Easy IPv4) may be a > general purpose solution to the above techniques that you have been > discussing.
