@emily_s @amy my first thought would be whether an IP-esque global addressing approach makes sense at all when links might have to necessarily become transient in nature but that also applies to terrestrial internetworking and that never stopped the ARPANET

@hipsterelectron @emily_s links are totally distinct from addressing. A link is literally just the establishment of shared state.
