I do not think there is any detailed review or comparison. I have never heard
of it until now.
Reading the "Feature" section here [1] I do not think this is well thought
through concept.
It cites two publications, one of them only dealing with NAT and at the same
time claiming it is "academically pure" (whatever that means, I assume they
mean "sound"? The papers are 7-9 years old).
It relies on UDP via IPv4 as transport which does not seem like a reasonable
choice given the options on the table today.
Flexibility with respect to transports is something we have identified as a
core issue. Especially since eliminating metadata-exposing
transports/addressing on the physical layer is what we need in the long run.
To be honest I also stopped reading at "ledger-based storage of reputation
data".
Without trying to bash, looks to me like yet another blockchain-based future
internet tech.
The website at least fails to provide the key value offerings. Are there other
resources?
If they have any insights into better NAT handling, that would a great
resource, but the paper is already 9 years old so I would assume people read it
already.
