Hi Heiner,
   Thanks for your advice. I didn't fully catch your idea but i will try to
answer your questions inline.

all.

   I didn't think that mappings should be all in blocks (is that what you
mean?) and be not crumbled, i just think that edge address being allocated
individually, especially in tomorrow's IPv6 scene is rather rare. So the
vast block mappings would make mapping table size to be happily smaller.

avenue and street.

 Do you mean that to put the detailed address as well as the rough (city
level, or larger) address all in a packet? Or, it is like geo-based routing?
While i consider that very persuasive, i doubt its deployability. Would
current users change their address, especially in such a large scale? Trying
to solve the problem indirectly, i.e. using mapping, would be more
applicable.

Sorry i didn't catch your last sentence.
