Hi Noel,

I have a notion for a "routing" protocol which manages link changes
through dynamic readdressing and multiply addressing hosts. By and
large the addresses change so that the trivially aggregable routes
don't have to. Not just at the host level but all the way downstream
from the link change. Even bumps automatic resizing requirements
upstream so that over time any given router offers exactly one route
outward which automatically aggregates with the route its upstream
already holds.

It does require a new suite of transport protocols where layer 4 is as
loosely bound to layer 3 as layer 3 currently is to layer 2, along
with a new suite of APIs which don't expect the application layer to
manage remote addresses.

It's fresh. Might even be a genuinely new approach to routing. Are you
game to flesh it out and see how far we can run with it, even though
the odds of ever reaching deployment on an approach which requires us
to abandon TCP and UDP are not good?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
