1-4

StreetTalk is a distributed directory service that contains the names and attributes
of all critical network resources. Each resource on a VINES network has a
StreetTalk name that is globally unique.
StreetTalk names have the following format:
item
@
group
@
organization
where
item
identifies a user or resource on the network
group
identifies the group to which the item belongs
organization
identifies the organization to which the group belongs
VINES adapts to changes in the network topology; because the VINES network
refers to each resource by name, you can move or replace it and the PCs can still
locate it. System administrators control which resources end users on the network
can access.
VINES Network Addressing
Each node grouping on a VINES network consists of a service node and the client
nodes to which the service node provides address resolution and routing services
(F
igure 1-2). Note that this is a logical grouping; client nodes may or may not map
directly to the same physical media.
