Might I say, even if you get the same IP back from the router
- kccqzy 4y agoThat's not a problem with TCP, that's more of a problem with IP itself. Connections are currently identified by the source/destination IP and port numbers, but that should not have been the case. Imagine we use a UUID for the connection and keep an updatable cache between UUID and IP. Still nothing to do with TCP. Also, this kind of partial file transfer protocol is still needed because what if a host crashes? Even if we completely solve the mobile IP problem we would still rely on both ends of the connection tracking state. That state is lost due to a crash or power failure.
