Okay, impact on Freenet: - Every N hours (6, 12, 24), a German node will lose all its connections. It will then reestablish them, as long as they are not German nodes which are simultaneously broken. QUESTION: are they all recycled at once? Surely not, for obvious reasons. So hopefully it'll just be a matter of reestablishing all the connections. Reconnecting will however take significant time... - When the interruption occurs, all connected nodes will not only lose their connections, but they will also not be able to reconnect. So you are relying on the server reconnecting to the clients.
Motives? Presumably there isn't enough demand for static IP addresses for ISPs to compete on it in the basic package... and the minority who do want static IP pay so much that it is worth the extra network administration, hardware, etc, to implement the below and inconvenience the majority by breaking all their TCP connections every 6-24 hours?
