Choices, Choices, Choices
Identity at the Application level
Use a stable name space that is mapped to a locator (using the DNS)
DNS incremental updates
Allow indirection and referral via DNS NAPTR records
Generic identity ornamented with service-specific mappings
ENUM
Use application agents to provide stable rendezvous points
For example: sip:gih@sip.apnic.net
Issues:
Can the DNS support dynamic interaction at a suitable scale and speed?
Are a family of diverse application-specific identities desireable (cross-application referral and hand-over)
Can we stop application designers from creating NAT-agile locator-independent application-specific solutions that rely on an application-specific identity space?
