Christian, Imagine the following: IP packets are forwarded down to the (egress) router (to which the destination user is somehow attached) without looking at the destination IP address ! This also means: the destination information may be what so ever: an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or even a USER NAME !! Wouldn't this fit to your proposal perfectly?

[...] Dear program committee and RRG folks, finally, here is a link to the concept paper on the new hostname- oriented host stack architecture, which I described in earlier emails: http://users.piuha.net/chvogt/pub/2008/vogt-2008-hostname-oriented-stack.pdf I am very interested in your opinion about it. - Christian _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
