Hi, Yuan

You ask a good question.
I think Tunnel ID is local in the daemon of the sender. We can use Tunnel ID
and Sender address to distinguish a tunnel. If I need to identify
application in my case, I need host address. The host address should be
informed to destination and intermediate node in my case. So what should I
do?

BTW, I like the maillist very much :)
