Hi Owen,
I bet you're wrong about that. I've been doing experiments with using
ephemeral aggregated address hierarchies instead of routing. That's about
as radical a change as changes get. No surprise that TCP fails, DNS blows
up and the static subnet is rendered obsolete. One of the surprises was
that IPv6 itself, the layer 3 protocol, works as well as anything new that
could be designed.
