Again, the real question here is about whether we need host granularity or not.

If not, then Eliot's figures make perfect sense and the lack of granularity also suggests that the rate of change would be relatively low, further endorsing his approach.

However, if we do need host granularity, then I think you need about 3 orders of magnitude more scale, and pure push approaches simply won't get you there.

What's wrong with the approach where a host that is away from home gets its packets tunneled from home to its current location and then negotiates a direct tunnel with its correspondents for more optimal packet flow?
