[e2e] tunnels with only one end point specified.

so has anyone considered how you might design an ip tunnel
system with only having to specify ONE end point of the tunnel 
motivation: the
big problem with tunnels is that you have to nail TWO ends
which means you need a lot of prior agreement, and as we know,
distributred agreement is NP hard (neocon-politically hard)

so how about tunnels where the encapsulating header uses an ANY CAST
address for one end (either - nearest, or furthest)?

next: underhandover overloy networks -  technique that allies 
mobileip and ron:)

cheers
jon.

on closer examination, the object was nearer than when first observed.
