I got your paper two weeks ago and I have read it. It is really interesting!
But I didn't find a lot of work related to the global naming of the network 
elements therein. Ok, I understand that this was not your objective, but 
I suppose you have thought about a global naming schema for NEs. 
Anyone who deals with such an issue as "Integrating the X.500 in the Network
Management Framework" sooner or later asks for a way to name a NE in the DIT!

Although your prototype Quipu Objects: csdDomain and csdMachine are enough
for your experiment (I have defined my own objects for my prototype, too)
a more standardized schema is needed. Any ideas on such a schema?
