I see what it says is pretty much similar to what I was writing on the matter of DNS some years ago :) Should be on record somewhere in NANOG archives. I do not claim that I'm the author of this idea, though. Unfortunately, I cannot remember how I acquired it :( Thank you for the pointer! --vadim On Wed, 17 Sep 2003, David G. Andersen wrote:

What is needed is an infrastructure for allocation of unique semantic-free end point identifiers (to a large extent, MAC addresses may play this role, or, say, 128-bit random numbers), a way to translate EIDs to the topologically allocated IP addresses (a kind of simplified numbers-only DNS?) and a coordinated effort to change applications and expunge domain names from protocols, databases, webpages and such, replacing URLs containing domain names with URLs containing EIDs.Oh, you mean something like the Semantic Free Referencing project? http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/projects/sfr/ (Blatant plug for a friend's research, yes, but oh my god does it seem relevant today) -Dave
