I don't think this is about global reachability (which is hopefully managed by PCP), it's about exporting names into the global DNS. We ought to distinguish the two -- you can be remotely reachable without publishing your name in the DNS. > without each device/service having to implement (and be configured for) > an external naming provider? Roughly 100% of Homenet devices don't need a name in the global DNS -- neither SIP, nor Skype, nor BitTorrent, nor syncthing, nor anything else that normal people run in their home relies on the DNS for locating remote peers. In the rare case where a device needs to be in the global DNS (and the only case I can see is that of a web server), I'd much rather configure that on the device itself than on the buggy web interface of my ISP-provided CPE (or, even worse, "in the cloud"). -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
