   System.out.println(df.getName());`

2)`AID df = new AID("agent1", AID.ISGUID);

Answer 1

As far as I know ISLOCALNAME indicates that the passed name is local name in Home Agent Platform and ISGUID - a globally unique identifier.

"If the name is a local name, then the HAP (Home Agent Platform) is concatenated to the name, separated by "@"." (from javadocs)
