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.
