If i get it right, what he was saying isn't what you say, all he pointed
out was that the node/gnode/ggnode/gggnode... method is over
complicated, and that you can have infinite addressing space with a
scheme similar to that of email, I think he has a point, and it might be
a good scheme for a mesh network, but it isn't Netsukuku,
For the sake of example, say you have "group nodes" named A,B and C, and
"normal nodes" a,b,c,d,e which are members of some group node similar to
how you've got name@mail, you will have a@A. b@A, c@A,
d@B, e@B f@C etc.
Your point about the referencing in the ether is valid, but this isn't
different than how Netsukuku is currently designed,
say gnode A knows B and B knows C & D and D knows E, you want to connect
from a@A to z@E, you send a request to B, which passes it to C and D. C
passes the request to all the gnodes it knows, and it continues
circulating indefinately, whereas D passes it to E.
This scenario will look something like this:
[nodes]
A,B,C... gnodes
{Known gnodes}
[a@A]>---A{B}-----B{C,D}--->[a@B,b@B,...]
\ \
\ \------D{E}----E{...}-->[z@E]
\_______C{...}-->...
(I hope my mail client doesn't screw this diagram)
In a sense this part is similar to the current scheme, and i think it
might be a good design, I would definitely encourage anyone to develop
this design, but I don't think this right for Netsukuku.
This has other disadvantages, noteably, that there is a seperation
between a gnode and a node, it's less de-centralised than ntk, and it
won't work in a chain, so if you have a router at A, which can see a@A
but not b@A, b@A can see a@A than there won't be a route from b@A to A
A-->a@A-X-b@A
whereas in ntk the equivalent will be
A-->a@A-->b@a@A
There is not need to patronize people on this list though, keep it on
4chan if you must.
Well, these are my 2 cents...
