-consortium-to-replace-tcpip

 [ Can someone convince me this isn't the biggest troll in the history 
of the internet? Cause it sounds like shoehorning DNS /and Google/ 
into IP in place of, y'know, IP addresses. ]


I didn't read it that way exactly, especially in light of this not in the Wikipedia article:

"Application-layer designs have also been proposed for deploying a content-centric interface. This has benefits such 
as easier deployment, backwards compatibility >and more flexible delivery support."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_data_networking

It's an interesting concept, but it ain't gonna replace TCP/IP, DNS, or IP addresses anytime soon. :-)

Given how long the process has been to go from IPv4 to IPv6, I would imagine something like this taking much longer to 
take root and spread out to the masses. It is a curious concept though and the papers written on the consortium site 
may be work a quick read.
