Ah, one moment, if I may:
"his books, he always said, contained the teachings of his master,
Socrates; ... what [Plato] had to teach could only be learned as fire is
kindled, by the touch of the flame itself."
- Mary Renault, 'Fire From Heaven'
The heart of all my knowledge on this matter I got from Jerry Saltzer, in
particular the paper that was reprinted as RFC-1498, "On the Naming and
Binding of Network Destinations". I have merely been repeating what seemed to
me a good idea.
