  • David Meyer and the Address That Had to Ask Where It Lived

    LISP lets an endpoint keep one identifier while its network attachment is described separately. That does not make location disappear. It moves forwarding into a chain of registered, resolved, cached, selected and reachable EID-to-RLOC state—and turns each link in that chain into a separate claim that operators must prove.

  • David Meyer and the Uneasy Work of Making Network Control Public

    David M Meyer's public record crosses four ways of coordinating a network that no participant fully controls: exposing interdomain routing through RouteViews, expressing routing policy through RPSL, serving standards and operator communities, and helping to lead OpenDaylight's early attempt at shared control software. The record is valuable precisely because it supports those connections without turning collective infrastructure into one person's achievement.
