Intentional Naming System (INS) principles

• Names are intentional, based on attributes

  • Apps know WHAT they want, not WHERE

• INS integrates resolution and forwarding

  • Late binding of names to nodes

• INS resolvers replicate and cooperate

  • Soft-state name exchange protocol with periodic refreshes

• INS resolvers self-configure

  • Form an application-level overlay network
