TurfNet [11] is a novel internetworking architecture that enables
communication among highly autonomous and heterogeneous
network domains. The architecture uses a global identity namespace
and does not require global addressing or a shared internetworking
protocol. It integrates the concept of dynamic network
composition with other recent architectural concepts, such as decoupling
locators from identifiers. Addresses in TurfNet may not
have end-to-end significance; they are merely transient routing
tags for local routing. The architecture uses a name/identity registration
and resolution process to find and set up the high-level
routing path across a federation of composed networks. End-toend
communication across network boundaries is a combination
of node registration, name resolution and packet relaying.
