Don't we already have some of this ?

"DARPA is interested in ideas that will lead to the development of new addressing schemes (eg, a structured hierarchical addressing system) to supplement the current IP scheme."

Doesn't IPv6 (and to an extent the current IPv4 address allocation system) do that ?

And wasn't OSI based on a hierachical addressing scheme ? We all know how well that took off.
