Virtual network address
I found this while deleting links after closing Articles for deletion/Lillehovde's Dynamic Network Address Protocol. In that debate, the author and main proponent of the article states that the information in Wikipedia on LDP constitutes original research. This other article appears to be a highly related article, and I submit that it is also most likely original research. I hope someone more knowledgeable than I in network protocols checks this. moink 20:38, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I suspect that some networking protocol somewhere has something called a "virtual network address", but this clearly isn't about that hypothetical protocol. --Carnildo 23:08, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. I saw a link to the article in the deleted article (see above) and made a note to revisit it to see if it was the same OR, with the intention of nominating it, but I see that moink has already done so. As someone familiar with the field, I would agree that it is OR, and that while the (real) concept of virtual networks exists (see virtual network), it has nothing to do with the LDP (for which there is no independent verification of existence). In the previous AfD I asked the author of the article to provide references, independent verification of the existence of the work, or even to more fully identify the researcher ("Lars Lillehovde", no Google hits) or his institution or affiliation, but he declined. This stub article has even less substance. --MCB 01:50, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete doesn't make much sense to me. Not an established term. 143.127.3.10 Groeck 17:09, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
