Abstract
A presentation on work involving the Identifier Locator Network Protocol (ILNP) at RIPE92/Edinburgh led to many discussions with attendees during the remainder of the meeting. All of them wanted to know more about ILNP. So, this talk presents the "Why?", "What?", and "How?" of ILNP:
- Why does ILNP exist?
- What exactly is it?
- How does it work?
This talk describes how ILNP works across today's IPv6 infrastructure, how it is backwards compatible with today's IPv6 applications, and how it offers an alternative design and engineering pathway for higher-layer protocols built on top of IPv6.

Video will be added soon.

Saleem Bhatti
I am a professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews, UK. I am interested in the design, use and performance of computer communication systems, architectures, protocols, and applications. I have a preference for practical work, using test-beds -- I like to build, test, and break things. At the moment, ILNP (https://ilnp.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk) is an exciting area of work for me.
