Properties of PNRP:

• Distributed and serverless for incredible scalability and reliability

  PNRP is almost entirely serverless (servers are required only for bootstrapping). PNRP easily scales to billions of names. The system is fault tolerant and there are no bottlenecks.

• Effortless name publication without third parties

  DNS name publication requires updates to DNS servers. Most people must contact a server administrator. This takes time and incurs costs. PNRP name publication is instantaneous, effortless, and free.

• Real time updates

  DNS relies heavily on caching to improve performance. Unfortunately, this means names cannot be reliably updated in real time. PNRP is much more efficient than DNS and can process updates almost instantaneously. Name resolutions will never return stale addresses, making PNRP an excellent solution for finding mobile users.

• Name more than just computers

  A PNRP resolution includes an address, port, and possibly an extended payload. With PNRP you can name more than just computers. You can also name services.

• Protected name publication

  Names can be published as secured (protected) or unsecured (unprotected) with PNRP. PNRP uses public key cryptography to protect secure peer names against spoofing.
