Ideas like LISP take the former approach. Ideas like SCTP and Multipath TCP take the latter. The deployment prospects are not promising.
I'm rusty on LISP, but I believe it was designed to solve the DFZ problem itself, while SCTP and Multipath TCP solve issues such as being able to change the layer3 address on an existing connection (supporting rapid renumbering and multipath failover/loadbalancing utilizing multiple layer 3 addresses (1 per path). In an ideal world, we'd be using both. Jack
