Alex,

I knew I would regret being so arrogant.

I don't disagree with you with regards to rethinking how the host
views the internet.  I especially feel this way with regards to routing
paradigms.

However, if we make the host think that it sees memory over the
wire, then the thing that it is directly over the wire (the first gateway,
or the front-end, or whatever), will have to have strong transport.
I guess I haven't quite defined what I mean by strong transport here.
I don't necessarily mean something exactly like TCP with windowing and
all, but something that does essentially the same job.
