I don't think I know the precise answer to your question. My best guess is that floating ips were one of the initial core L3 features implemented before other advanced services existed. Implementing them in this way may have been the path of least resistance at the time.
Are you suggesting a change? What change? What advantages would your change bring? Do you see something fundamentally wrong with the current approach? Does it have some deficiency that you can point out? Basically, we need a suggested modification with some good justification to spend time making that modification. Carl Hi, Address Translation(FIP, snat and dnat) looks like an advanced service. Why it is integrated into L3 router? Actually, this is not how it's done in practice. They are usually provided by Firewall device but not router. What's the design concept?
