The objectives of the name resolution project were as follows:
- To create a means for administrators to assign host names to their computers without duplicating the names of other systems
- To store the host names in a database that would be accessible by any system, anywhere on the network
- To distribute the host name database among servers all over the network
- To avoid creating traffic bottlenecks and a single point of failure
- To create a standardized system for host naming accessing electronic mailboxes
- To allow name changes to be dynamically updated to all participating computers
