It’s long been known that humans are generally better at names than numbers.
Unsurprisingly, the use of numeric IP addresses is error-prone and unwieldy,
and use of domain names should be preferred where possible. This talk reports on the latest relevant standardisation efforts in this area.

Jim Hague
Jim learnt C from first edition K&R, bought the first edition of The C++ Programming Language when it first appeared, and hasn’t stopped using either since. This has taken him over time through all sorts of environments, from JVM internals to air traffic control. He is currently nesting in the DNS world, and running a Code Club in his spare time.
