There are all sorts of ways IP addresses can be shared by multiple machines which you may or may not choose to use. Not if you are running pure IP. Either you can uniquely identify each machine, or you can't, but you cannot have it both ways. What about NAT?

I apologize for asking, but... I have been reading the ietf-opes.org pages again and I still can't get a good hold on what OPES is trying to accomplish. There are a lot of drafts listed on the site that discuss several scenarios like content peering, edge caching, etc., and while that's all nice

I believe OPES-like services are already creeping in. Consider wireless systems where a great deal of compression is employed to reduce data streams. This includes proprietary mechanisms to re-publish graphics and web pages to reduce bandwidth requirements. However, in such systems where the

The host *is* the edge of the network. I'm sorry to have not mentioned that I consider the host nodes, or the end nodes, are not edges but instead something attaching on network edges. I consider the very last hub, or the access router which the end nodes connected to as the 'network

How does the idea of NAT destroy the global Internet address space? because in a NATted network the same addresses are used in different parts of the network. addresses are meaningless. So what? Why is this the big problem? __ Do You
