Since the early days of networks, a basic principle has been that endpoints treat the network as a black box. An end-point injects a packet with a destination address and the network delivers the packet. This principle has served one well, and allowed one to scale the Internet to billions of devices using networks owned by competing companies and devices owned by billions of individuals.
