Re: 64-bit identifiers

 In your previous mail you wrote:

   Now one could postulate a different identifer that could be used
   in things like Protocol Control Blocks to bind session state
   and identity (in lieu of using IP addresses as at present).  There
   would need to be some ability to map to/from that identifier to
   other kinds of identifiers (perhaps IP Addresses, FQDNs) for 
   this to be deployable, as near as I can tell.  There is some work
   within the IRTF NSRG examining the possibility of adding such
   identifiers to the Internet Architecture, but that's research
   not engineering for now.
   
=> this is not fully true: HIP escaped from IRTF and just proposes
this kind of new namespace.

PS: the five bullets in the HIP TODO list are:
 - key exchange
 - mobility
 - NAT traversal
 - home multihoming
 - site multihoming
So HIP is something we have to look at!
