Abstract

This chapter bridges the gap between the high-level literature survey and our formal definitions of naming and addressing. Our goal is to devise a simple taxonomy that accommodates a multitude of naming architectures. In addition to framing the solution space, the taxonomy is intended to serve as a tutorial, to present a consistent terminology, to help find similarities and differences among architectural designs, and more importantly to help identify new avenues for contributing to the topic.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The architecture [90] advocates the host-to-content paradigm instead of the host-to-host paradigm of TCP/IP.

  2. 2.

    The object selection does not need to be based on closeness in some metric space, however.
