OK, no more caffeine for you today...
stop trying to defend a basically ignorant assumption about how ip works.
Ignorant? Hmm, let's see: BS computer science; have nearly finished MSE computer engineering; 20 years supporting engineering workstations and networks including a few years as backup network admin for an engineering network at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center; design and implementation of various instructional networking labs; network engineer training on (at the time) big name commercial routers; designed protocols for theoretical network hardware and implement same on simulated hardware; I've even transferred data between my moving vehicle and the International Space Station (that was neat).
Opinionated? you bet. Ignorant on networking? I beg to differ.
