IP address is better than Ethernet address, though. "Manufacturer" ties "universal IDs" to hardware that's widely distributed, where an <IPaddr,uid> pair helps you find someone in the global community of ids. Routing information is encoded in the uid *and* the IP addresses are already assigned. In fact, translating "user@host" into a 6-byte <IPaddr,uid> is trivial. This probably shouldn't stay in bugs.4bsd; guilty as charged. -- +-DLS (dls@mace.cc.purdue.edu)
