Ah, one moment, if I may:

  "his books, he always said, contained the teachings of his master,
  Socrates; ... what [Plato] had to teach could only be learned as fire is
  kindled, by the touch of the flame itself."

	- Mary Renault, 'Fire From Heaven'

The heart of all my knowledge on this matter I got from Jerry Saltzer, in
particular the paper that was reprinted as RFC-1498, "On the Naming and
Binding of Network Destinations". I have merely been repeating what seemed to
me a good idea.
