Dear IAB (CC to IETF list);

I wrote a position paper for SEMI workshop and it was rejected
with a surprising review comment, all of the point of which
is wrong.

That is because it is a workshop on how the Internet can evolve to
realize the architecture of the stack, not a workshop on how the
architecture of the stack can evolve to address the way people use it.

The only end points that can be fixed end to end on a network are
cryptographic keys and data bound to cryptographic keys. Ports and IP
addresses are ephemera.
