Nope that is definitely not a current address.

At the same time, I don't have a current relevant academic
affiliation, and I'm not sure I want to have my personal home address
listed in this public forum as that also seems irrelevant.

Is it possible to just omit the mailing address altogether? If not,
given how long it's been since I've been involved with this effort at
all, could I simply be removed from the authors list so I stop adding
extra burden to this process?

> >>>>>>>>>>     I think "Block" is in reality the final word in the description of each entry in this table, whether implicit or explicit.  For example, we would always refer to a block of block type 7 as a "Bundle Age Block".  But because it applies to every entry in the table, the token "Block" conveys no information and could profitably be omitted altogether.  So my preference would be to omit the terminal "Block" from the description of every entry in the table rather than append it where it is missing.  That is, I would propose that the description for block type 11 be changed from "Block Integrity Block" to "Block Integrity" while the formulations "Block Integrity Block" and "BIB" are retained wherever they currently appear in the BPSec specification.

My reasoning is that (a) it's cleaner and simpler and (b) I think it's actually more accurate.  As has been pointed out from time to time, an IP router could fairly readily be modified to simply cache outbound datagrams pending repair of a network partition, instead of simply discarding them; that sort of disruption tolerance is relatively trivial.  The reason that DTN initially drew the attention of DARPA, I think, was that it addressed the less trivially managed effects of disruption, i.e., large increases in round-trip time.  Tolerance of large and variable round-trip times is fundamental to the concept of DTN, regardless of whether those long round-trip times are attributable to transient link outages or to large signal propagation latencies.  The essence of DTN is ditching the client/server, query/response model of communications - because the roun
