A coherent scheme to support location-independent references in internetwork environment

Published: 07 June 1982 Publication History

Abstract

We describe in this paper a coherent scheme to support location-independent references of remote entities in an internetwork environment where entities may dynamically connect to computer systems in different networks. More specifically, we propose that name servers be provided within networks and in hosts to support user creation and use of symbolic internetwork names of entities. Message-forwarding mechanisms to support communication between entities that may migrate from network to network are designed.
