Hi, almost everytime I open my laptop it gets a different ip address, sometimes I'm home and it gets that same ip it had the last time I was there. once in a very great while my home gateway changes it's ip address, since it does dynamic dns updates I have no trouble finding it, and in fact the network storage perhipheral that I have thinks nothing of using upnp to punch a hole in the gateway all on it's own... These are mostly low touch and either zero or very little configuration required. The consumer isn't got to tollerate systems which don't work automatically or very nearly so, which means among other things having an ip address change or even have your home gateway(s) help the downstream devices renumber themselves.
That claim seems to be unsupported by current experience. Please elaborate.
It's not only not supported by current experience it seems really unlikely to be supported by future experience, e.g. many device you have are mobile, and a connected to more than one network at a time they still may be gatewaying for downstream devices. if somewhere along the line you solved this for the mobility case it is going to work for networks which are more stable.
