Hi Pars, One issue I see with this is string internationalization. Defining the format of a name is not trivial given the current work to internationalize names, strings, etc. to support languages that do not use a Latin-based alphabet. For example, how would one format a name in a

Hello, For example, we are in the same campus. The campus is covered by a single subnet with several wireless access points. I need to call you. But there is a problem and I can't get the IPv6 address of your cellular phone (DNS, or MIPv6 home agent failure). But, I suspect that you are

Pars, Ignoring for now if this is good or bad idea, but you might look at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-name- lookups-15.txt It looks like ICMP name lookups can also be used to do the same thing. However, I couldn't understand why I would use a side protocol
