It's true
that the address (as the role of identifier) is hard to be in accordance with
the topologically aggregatability requirement. However, it is still workable to
be aggregatable in the overlay or virtual topology, e.g. DNS or home agent
in MIP. As for DHT, is it workable to support global-scope resolution for the
flat id (or host- granularity PI address) based on the assumption that
every host will need a unique entry in the DHT system? I believe it's a big
difference in the scale between the above resolution infrastracture and the
current structured P2P system, like Skype. Besides the scalability concern,
there is also a business and trust model issue, that is, who will run this
infrastracture?
