The central problem with the Internet seems to be that nearly everybody who routes traffic thinks it's okay to violate the architecture and alter the traffic to optimize for his/her specific circumstances - and the end users and their wide variety of applications just have to cope with the resulting brain damage.
Objective observation suggests that the Internet architecture *is* that anyone who wants to can molest traffic in any way they feel fit.
Thats the 'Twits on the Wire' model in a nutshell.
But really, I do not understand why people have to fetishize the constancy of IP addresses end to end. IP addresses are not particularly interesting to look at.
