Problem • In the current DNS, • Given domain, domain name is selected by a user. • The uniqueness of domain name should be verified by network manager. • This naming is difficult to adopt in Un-administrated Networks, • SOHO, Home-network and Ad-hoc network, • where there are no network manager and dedicated name server.
Mechanism to automate the generation of unique domain name Network Device Identifier EUI64-ID User-ID EUI64-ID Domain Unique Domain Name
Generation ofunique domain name User-ID : paulEUI64-ID : MAC1 User-ID : paulEUI64-ID : MAC3 User-ID : paulEUI64-ID : MAC2 Node A Node B Node C Factor of Uniqueness
Pros and Cons • Pros • Automatically generated domain name • Not need name allocation server • Uniqueness of domain name is guaranteed w/o additional verification procedure. • Cons • A little User-unfriendly name by EUI-64 ID • However, this naming can be useful to network devices in zero-configuration networks
