Imagine the following: IP packets are forwarded down to the (egress)

IPv6 address, or even a USER NAME !! Wouldn't this fit to your
proposal perfectly?
Heiner,
are you thinking of forwarding packets based on the destination
hostname while the packet is within an edge network? That could, of
course, be an extension to the proposal I am making. The proposal
right now, however, uses IP addresses for routing; the hostnames are
included only in the first packets of a connection in order to sync
the two peers.
