Abstract
Xerox internets and Ethernet local computer networks use 48-bit absolute host numbers. This is a radical departure from practices currently in use in internetwork systems and local networks. This paper describes how the host numbering scheme was designed in the context of an overall internetwork and distributed systems architecture.
