    You are only one of
          many, many application level designers.   The fact that you
          don't care about the IP address doesn't mean that no
          application designer needs to care about the IP address.
    Fundamentally the
          Internet is a peer-to-peer network, and there's no particular
          reason to assume that peers only interact in pairs.
