... for certain kinds of identifiers. Are you thinking these would look like addresses? If so, how would routing be done? Would a source forward a packet toward a system of rendezvous servers which would then translate the header addresses and forward the packets on? Are you thinking that translation would be something like DNS? I'm asking because I suspect that whatever form your solution takes, it will look a lot like something we're already exploring.
