Hi Brian,

This is possibly a less intractable rephrasing of the "what is an endpoint?" question. The end-to-end model we use for the Internet really only applies up to a front-end load balancer for an increasing proportion of Internet traffic. To borrow a phrase from the past, everything on the other side of that LB is a catanet, albeit one that still kinda-mostly runs some transport/application stack atop IP.

I believe we looked at something similar to this some time ago, and it revolved around the question, “what is an endpoint?”  We never really did answer that question and I do think it is worthy of some review from time to time, because our understanding of it evolves over time.
