This is an interesting division and perhaps an important one. There's by the way different kinds of 'fixedness' -- complete burn-in fixed systems and upgrade-at-the-dealer systems. In the latter case typically all of the software gets changed at the same time, so for the purposes of requiring something from the IP stack it's pretty similar to completely fixed systems. Hosts that can run new apps per user request are a different class from these as you point out. > - cell phone that is strictly an endpoint vs. > - cell phone that can provide net connectivity to other devices On this one I think we have made the case very clear by talking about _host_ requirements document. The router case is important, but left as a future exercise.
