If you give ISPs as well as all end users a number of id's to name interfaces and such, there might be no need to change sw in hosts. Routers will get their own names too. Host Name + Router Name + Router Locator = IP Address as it is today. Hence there is no need to change the routing. I.e. what is left is to provide a flat names' set and a separate hierarchical locators' set, right?
