Hi Murat,

If they think names belong at layer 4 instead of layer 7 I can offer a
couple insights on how this might be used to make layer 3 cheaper and
more effective.

If they think names belong at layer 3 everyone in this forum can
rattle off a dozen reasons why that's totally wacko.

Anycast can allow a supporting client to find the nearest device of
type X. And it can allow the local device of type X to find the
nearest regional device of type X. Making caching a first class
network element is positively needless.
