Thanks Pars,

now it goes more clear to me. But I still wonder that this must be solved/proposed in ecrit-wg. Anyway, I will read it through.

Hi Pars,

I got it, I can imagine what you want to do.
SIP has similar mechanism that you want, I suppose, so that what is
the merit on this?
Sorry for my primitive question.

No it is a good question.

The idea is that when the DNS is down (or unreachable),
and/or Mobile IPv6 home agent is down etc, and there is no way
to locate and reach the destination host, then I can try to
use this technique.

Imagine an earthquake scenario. In Turkey in 1999
cellular phones saved lives. Imagine you are trying to call
someone, but you can't get his address because
of some infrastructure failures. etc..

You know his name, then using hash(firstname lastname) you can
construct his interface ID. This might be helpful. You can
try to reach him at its human Ipv6 address. Hopefully his phone
configured a human Ipv6 address.

This makes sense?

Is this idea used for a specific aim? In my company we just consider
about how to connect sensors and sensors seem to be have no such
human names currently.

Hi,
I was thinking about cellular phones in fact.
In this case, a host (phone) is associated with a
human.

If everything goes wrong I can try to contact my
friend using his name.

Hello,

Please find the following Internet Draft
on generating an IPv6 interface id from a human name.
The main idea is that human name is easy to remember,
and consequently I can construct your IPv6 address
if I know you, and I can reach you (in some cases).

I would very much appreciate your comments, if any.

Hello,

Is there a standard way of constructing
an interface ID from human name?

I would like to configure an interface ID
hash(ParsMutaf| 1) and if it collides
hash(ParsMutaf| 2) etc..

You can try reach or locate me
by sending a packet to (please do not
hesitate):

subnetprefix | hash(ParsMutaf| 1) or
subnetprefix | hash(ParsMutaf| 2)

Is there a standard way of doing this?
For example there should be space between
first and last name? etc.

Any comments? Pointers? Thank you.

Regards,

Pars Mutaf
