The protocol gateway will be a specially developed box and the Safety Engineering Requirements for this are well known in terms of the software development lifecycle, rigorous testing, etc. A simple stateless transform from one address format to another is an isolated function. The code can be eyeballed and exhaustively tested in isolation. The cost of doing this is quantifiable. A lookup function on its own is not that much more difficult. The problem comes when you look at the source for the data in the table and how the table is maintained. This is when you jump down the rabbit hole. We would need to develop the procedures and process for generating the "new" identifiers for each aircraft, how they are communicated to the aircraft and lookup table (in each protocol gateway) and how we ensure that these are kept in sync to the required high degree of confidence. Based on previous experience, I would expect the safety authority to demand two independent proofs that the lookup table contains the correct data. One would probably be by direct communication between the airline/aircraft registration authority and the maintainer of each protocol gateway. The other would probably be via each aircraft. On the aircraft side, we may need an update to the AEEC specification for the Aircraft Personality Module, a potential hardware upgrade (to every aircraft) and the procedures for properly configuring the new identifier into the aircraft. A new protocol would be required to communicate the binding between the new identifier and the airframe's 24-bit id to the protocol gateway. And all this has to be subject to the certification and approvals process. For the sake of a few addressing bits, there is really no justification for going down this (very expensive and time consuming) path and we don't have the funding anyway. To continue the metaphor, the only reason for jumping down this Rabbit Hole seems to be a "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" where you have a big empty "table" that is the current address space and with a group down one end of the table shouting "no room".
