Implications of the IPN Name Space Approach

• Facilitates decoupling of evolutionary rates

• Minimizes (DNS) traffic between Internets

  • No huge zone updates over interplanetary links
  • No RTT-delays incurred for name-to-address resolution
  • No local cache coherency issues (esp. with DHCP)

• New DNS Concepts

  • Wildcarded A-records for ìlegacyî applications off planet
  • A new Resource Record - the I-Record (Indirect-Record)
