APC-1276 Presents the idea that the IP transport address of the sender can be replaced with 0.0.0.0. there were a few opposing opinions regarding this contribution, but I wanted to share two more reasons why this contribution is required.
1. currently, it is impossible to do End-to-End security in 225/245, as the transport address resides in the PDU itself, by placing 0.0.0.0, this limitation is removed.
2. When an EndPoint is running on a PPP or DHCP on portables, the IP address can change behind the back of the EndPoint - The PPP link may drop, or the Portable may go to sleep and it's DHCP lease expires. While it is complicated to find one's own IP address, it is even more complicated to find out when the IP address changed behind the EndPoint's back.
