I've described variable-length addresses in the past.  Essentially a
system like that of the telephone network, with addresses that can be
extended as required at either end.  Such addressing allows unlimited ad
hoc extensibility at any time without upsetting any routing already in
place.

You can start designing the ASICs now.  It won't be easy.
