Hosnieh,

You've opened up a multi-layer issue here. If each application gets a
separate IID, that could make privacy more difficult, in that it could be
easier to track and correlate the behavior of applications even with low
layer encryption. Your proposal could be okay if each application (or
session, actually) could request a new IID at an arbitrary time, and if
there were a general way for sessions to let each other know this was
happening, like multihomed transport.  Fun yet?
