Granted, we need some architecturally solid and sound solution, i.e. the
ultimate, long-term goal, to the address exhaustion problem.  However,
that will probably mean changing the IP protocol and applications must
adapt itself to the new world order.

With proper API, most applications works as is even with ID/LOC
separation.
