Most of the routing and security issues on todays IP4/IP6 internet could 
be solved by deploying HIP or derivatives thereof without requiring 
fundamental changes to the infrastructure since the major "flaw" of 
current generation Internet is tying the network identity and 
host/application indentity into one which is then overcome with whole 
spectrum of solutions along the lines of anycast, load-balancers, NAT, etc.
