Hello Noel, > Err, that would get the address and name of the ITR, not the actual source > host.
this thread started with a subject of how to save the Internet from the all-powerful agencies. Lisp was not invented to hide your identity, it's only separating it from the location - this doesn't mean the location information cannot reveal your (real life) identity. At the end the agencies want your name, not your (inner) IP address. If the xTR is close to you, e.g. your DSL router runs the xTR, then the locator is effectively a 1:1 mapping to your identity. If the xTR is your office branch router, well, then we have already (a) a router to try to break in and (b) a physical office location to look for you. And if the xTR is further away from your Internet connection point then chances are you can get wire-tapped on your way to/from the xTR, i.e. Lisp would not help you at all. That's all I wanted to say with my statement about "static setups". Complete different story is if Lisp could make encryption e.g. between company office sites much easier, more scalable etc.. Independent from the original subject that would be a real benefit.
