This goes to the heart of my criticism of the Homenet Naming Architecture draft. If there is anything in any of the Homenet working group documents or pending drafts that contradicts the recommendations of RFC 6092 that amount in practice to a prohibition against passive listeners in the home network from being reachable by arbitrary exterior hosts, then I’m not seeing it. Could you provide me with a pointer to the relevant passage in the drafts? Without that, I can’t see how there’s really a strong case for doing any of this naming architecture work. --james woodyatt <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>
