scope:

NPR-ISO/IEC TR 29181-2 describes the general characteristics of Future Network naming and addressing schemes, including problem statements, requirements, design objectives, gap analysis, and development directions. - Problem Statements: The characteristics and problems of existing NAS in existing network will be discussed. - Technical Challenges: A list of major technical challenges to assure that the FN-NAS will be -ble to provide solid technical support from the base level to meet the objectives of FN. - Requirements: The general characteristics of Future Network are discussed and their impact on NAS design. - Gap analysis: Examines the gap between existing network NAS and future network performance expectations. FN-NAS Standardization Plan, design objectives, gap analysis, development guidance, chronological scenarios for future network naming, and addressing guidance are described in detail. Though this part of ISO/IEC TR 29181 mainly presents a list of up-to-date surveyed problems, requirements, and plausible techniques for Future Network, it does not mean that all of those would be applied to a single Future Network in common, since the naming and addressing scheme can be applied to the various networks, such as global networks, local networks, access networks, mobile networks, etc. If a specific Future Network is designed and implemented, some appropriate parts of ISO/IEC TR 29181 would be considered depending on its network usage and its characteristics.
