The only information that the clients get as part of the triggers is the l2 address of the "other end". How can they use this information to make sure it is an L3 event?. The host would probably need some mapping(l2-l3) or protocol to find out if this is a l3 event.

I understand the client aspect, how about the server?. How is it supposed to know it is servicing a host client or access router client?. This would entail that we have a version of host server and access router server since the servers need to provide different information in the trigger data.
