right. I tend to think that the problems of multi-homing, multi-endpoint, 
mobility, and renumbering are tightly coupled.
you might need to expose some of this to the transport and applications. I have 
more hope of solving this at L4.5 or even L5 (I suppose talking about a 
“session layer” would get me banned from the IETF. ;-)), than at L3.5.

to take the digression back to homenet; if we agree this is a problem for 
transport or above, then at least we can declare victory by claiming it isn’t 
our problem.

cheers,
Ole
