Abbreviated as EID, an endpoint identifier is used to specify and uniquely
identify endpoints connected to the network.
Information about the topological location of an
endpoint in an internetwork is given by a
locator. The Nimrod Routing
Architecture uses endpoint identifiers.
RFC 1992: Nimrod Routing Architecture Nimrod is a general routing architecture that can be applied to routing both within a single routing domain and among multiple routing domains.
Securing The Nimrod Routing Architecture This paper describes the work undertaken to secure Nimrod, a complex and sophisticated routing system that unifies interior and exterior routing functions. The focus of this work is countering attacks that would degrade or deny service to network subscribers.
The Internetwork Layer and the Nimrod Routing Architecture Nimrod is a project which aims, in part, to produce a next-generation routing architecture for the Internet; but also, more generally, to try and produce a basic design for routing in a single global-scale communication substrate, a design which will prove sufficiently flexible and powerful to serve into a future as yet unforeseeable.
