Re: Sequentially assigned IP addresses--why not?

[Salavat R. Magazov]

Hello

What is the difference between plain address (I mean house address like 47
Ulcombe gardens, Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom) and IP address. The
former is scalable to whatever size one may want and the router for plain
address (i.e. post office in USA, for example) does not have to know about
47, Ulcombe and so on it only must know what direction UK is located. Why
not to take this analogy and use it in the Internet. The difference is not
very big, since plain mail system is connectionless.

Salavat
