Hi Robert,

I have similar questions related to sections 8.5 and B.2.:
Section 8.5:

Binding: ...
      the MRI/NSLPID for the messaging.  It also includes the interface
      on which the Query was received (since a Q-mode encapsulated
      message is the one that will best follow the data path and so
      arrive on the correct interface).

Not clear to me whether it is simply the interface index or
a particular address of an interface. The i/f index may not
suffice in certain scenario, esp. when you are using MobileIP
on an interface.


B.2.:
   Inbound-Interface:  Attributes of the interface on which the message
      was received, such as whether it lies on the internal or external
      side of a NAT.  These attributes have only local significance and
      are implementation defined.

Is it only the attributes or also the i/f address?

Regards,
 Roland
