WHO: Eliot Lear
Eliot Lear has been a Consulting Engineer for Cisco Systems since February of 1998, primarily focusing on network management and quality of service. Prior to that he was Silicon Graphics' Internet Architect, responsible for design and deployment of Internet and Intranet connectivity, access and security solutions. He participated in several large scale corporate acquisitions. Eliot has participated in the IETF for ten years, and is the author of several Internet RFCs.
THE TOPIC: Name Spaces and the Next-Generation Net
In the continuing efforts to support multi-homing and mobility on the once and future internet, many good questions have been raised. One of them is "Should there be an additional name space above layer 3?"
The Name Space Research Group, headed by Eliot Lear, Steve Bellovin, and Steve Crocker, has been pursuing that question and are producing an RFC that will be released in a few months.
Come and hear a preview of this work, and how it relates to work by other IETF working groups such as Routing Research Group (RRG) and Host Identity Payload (HIP).
