I think this is an exaggeration. But as long as primary memory is private to hosts and processes (i.e. not accessible by other hosts or processes running the same applications or services), there will be a need to rendezvous with, and refer to, specific hosts running specific processes that have sole access to state that is critical for continued operation of an instance of an application. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
