An IP Address serves the dual roles as references to a 'place' on
the Internet and to a host on the Internet, labeled 'locator' and
'identifier', respectively. Systems that use IP Addresses as
identifiers cannot support dynamic changes in the mapping between
the identifier and the locator. For a system to use a different
IP Address pair, participants must initiate a new exchange. In
the case of TCP, this means a new connection. In recent years,
there have been efforts to overcome this limitation, through
different approaches at different places in the Internet
architecture. This paper reviews the basic requirements for
support of multiaddressing (mobility and multihoming), and the
efforts to support them. Barriers to adoption, administrative
overhead, and operational efficiency are of particular concern.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
