Objective observation suggests that the Internet architecture *is* that
anyone who wants to can molest traffic in any way they feel fit.

Thats the 'Twits on the Wire' model in a nutshell.


But really, I do not understand why people have to fetishize the constancy
of IP addresses end to end. IP addresses are not particularly interesting to
look at.
