that's what packet filtering is for. nobody is saying that there's no need for filtering between networks. what we're saying is that having a single fixed partition of address space for this purpose is a really, really shortsighted and inflexible way of providing that - and one that drastically complicates applications. and given that far better solutions already exist, one that is totally unnecessary.
