Abstract:
Today’s Internet has some severe problems that can be traced to issues 
of naming and addressing.  Naming and Addressing has always been one of 
the most difficult and least understood topics in networking.  This 
presentation will review how we got to this juncture and then use two 
important papers Shoch [1] and Saltzer [2] to analyze the requirements 
of a network addressing architecture and the implications of following 
their advice.  In the process, we will develop some of the fundamental 
properties of naming and addressing. Note how these results point to 
solutions to many of the problems confronting us today and consider what 
these principles tell us about existing architectures. The conclusions 
are somewhat unexpected.
