A network infrastructure and method for name-address management in an internetwork having a hierarchical address structure with a number of address areas on different levels of the address structure. For a given resource, a distributed name-to-address resolution chain is built up through the hierarchical address structure utilizing a set of interlinked resolution key codes for bridging between address areas. During routing of a message, name-to-address resolution is performed by successively backtracking the chain through the hierarchical address structure utilizing the interlinked resolution key codes to bridge between address areas on different levels.
