RE: where the indirection layer belongs

IMHO the only place to put the ID/LOC indirection layer (I would say
sub-layer) that does not break a million things is:


              Current           Model with
               Model            indirection

Session    :           :       :           :
           +=====+=====+       +=====+=====+
Transport  | TCP | UDP |       | TCP | UDP |
           +=====+=====+       +=====+=====+
           |           |       |  ID/LOC   |
Network    |   IPv6    |       +-----------+
           |           |       |   IPv6    |
           +===========+  ==>  +===========+
           |    LLC    |       |    LLC    |
Data Link  +-----------+       +-----------+
           |    MAC    |       |    MAC    |
           +===========+       +===========+
Physical   | Ethernet  |       | Ethernet  |
           +===========+       +===========+
