Abstract :
Based on a recent thesis, a canonical networking scheme is described that would eliminate address space coordination and limit the need for route discovery in a manner that is scale-free, is orthogonal to existing protocol suites, and provides near-instantaneous responsiveness to change. This also makes it inherently independent of coordinated global name or address spaces like the DNS and IP. It enables independently deployed private and invisible Internets that would be extremely lightweight, efficient and fast, and can be created, grown, split or merged by the users themselves over the existing infrastructure, using no coordination or network administration skills
