Distribution of + this memo is unlimited. + +Discussion + + Declaring that the address is the message, the IPng WG has selected a + packet format which includes 1696 bytes of address space. This + length is a multiple of 53 and is completely compatible with ATM + architecture. Observing that it's not what you know but who you + know, the IPng focused on choosing an addressing scheme that makes it + possible to talk to everyone while dispensing with the irrelevant + overhead of actually having to say anything. + + Security experts hailed this as a major breakthrough. With no + content left in the packets, all questions of confidentiality and + integrity are moot. Intelligence and law enforcement agencies + immediately refocused their efforts to detect who's talking to whom, + and are silently thankful they can avoid divisive public debate about + key escrow, export control and related matters. + + Although the IPng WG declared there should be more than enough + address space for everyone, service providers immediately began vying + for reserved portions of the address space. + +Security Considerations + + Security issues are not discussed in this memo. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Crocker [Page 1] + +RFC 1776 The Address is the Message 1 April 1995 + + +Author's Address + + Steve Crocker + CyberCash, Inc. + 2086 Hunters Crest Way + Vienna, VA 22181 + + Phone: +1 703 620 1222 + EMail: crocker@cybercash.com + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Crocker [Page 2] + -- cgit v1.2.3
