Is it fully dynamic (routers and subnets are dynamically assigned in some kind of hierarchy on up to the core) or is it a combination of dynamic and administrative (LAN addresses are dynamically assigned while router addresses and subnets are fixed)? If the former, what makes it different from B1a? Or to put it another way, could B1a be reasonably rewritten to include it? If the latter, what makes it different from B1c? > Just repeating myself on "session identity (SID) used by the layer 4". Layer > 4 is OSI terminology, and this is NOT the session layer.

Another viewpoint would be to stop inaccurately describing TCP as a layer-4 protocol and start inaccurately describing it as a layer 4/5 protocol. I used "session ID" because the plain-english meaning is appropriate. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
