摘要: Currently the Internet has only one level of name resolution, DNS, which converts user-level domain names into IP addresses. In this paper we borrow liberally from literature to argue that there should be three levels resolution: descriptors service identifiers; identifiers endpoint and These additional naming resolution (1) allow services data first class objects (in they can directly persistently named), (2) seamlessly accommodate mobility multi-homing (3) integrate middleboxes (such as NATs firewalls) architecture. We further flat are a natural choice for identifiers. Hence, architecture requires scalable names, capability distributed hash tables (DHTs) provide.
