Fred, can you suggest how such a network might operate?

Your point about the original ARPAnet design is well taken, and echos comments from originators about lack of security - there was no need for it. In the context of the time and usage, it was a non-issue.

As is your correct terminology for connection accounting.

"A new Internet could be designed with security in mind. It would probably not be fully connectionless."

Not trying to be difficult, but if you're not inspecting content, then you have to be tracking usage. In what other ways could security be achieved?
