Naming is not Enough

• Naming can abstract location details

  • E.g., Mobile IP uses “home IP address”
  • But specifies both timing and granularity

• Mobility is more than a naming problem

  • Apps need different semantics (IP, DNS)
  • Handle resolution failures (disconnection)
  • Lookup granularity is application specific

Don’t prescribe a naming scheme!
