Hi thanks.

That part seems to actually be a good feature, thanks. What it comes 
down to in my mind from what it seems is that every host gets a 
non-random yet unpredictable network-based address that makes the host 
"unfindable" across networks (and also unidentifiable) (unless it 
identifies to different hosts on different networks as the same 
'person') (using a different means, more application level).

The host then uses that to communicate to all other hosts but only on 
the same network.

The other hosts (or applicatons) then use it to communicate with it 
until the address is lost because the host is getting renewed, 
reinstalled, the key is lost, or whatever, which is not really any 
biggy, but the next time it will use a different stable address. You 
would say (if the device is not an appliance but something more unstable 
like a computer) that the address is stable as long as the current OS is 
running.

Well that seems fine provided everything else is already accepted. Thanks.
