[rrg] Agenda request: Presentation on new host stack architecture

[HeinerHummel at aol.com]

Christian,
 
Imagine the following: IP packets are forwarded down to the (egress)  router 
(to which the destination user is somehow attached) without looking at  the 
destination IP address ! This also means: the  destination information  may be 
what so ever: an IPv4 address, an IPv6  address, or even a USER NAME !! 
Wouldn't this fit to your  proposal perfectly? 
 
Heiner

Dear  program committee and RRG folks,

finally, here is a link to the concept  paper on the new hostname- 
oriented
host stack architecture, which I  described in earlier  emails:

I  am very interested in your opinion about it.
