And then there's the cases where you don't care WHAT your IP
address is, as long as your hostname is stable.
perhaps. but that assumes a particular set of applications that don't
need connections of long duration.
Well, in the dialup example given, his IP address would be constant
within a session, just not constant across sessions.
The more interesting case would be enhancing TCP to allow endpoint IP
addresses to change during the life of the connection.
