IT Analysis - The Mounting Address Problem

Overview

There was time when every person had just one or two addresses associated with them-that of their home and, perhaps, place of work. The addresses specified in which building they lived or worked, on what street, the town it was located in and, for international purposes, the country. More recently, the growth in electronic networks has led to the number of such identifiers expanding. They are all now accustomed, for example, to having one or more email addresses. These don't specify necessarily to a person looking at or using the email address where that person is located, but those specifications are still required behind the scenes in order to route that email to the intended recipient.
