I beg to differ. I agree with the NAT position, but there are definitely
cases for the use of dynamically allocated addresses.
Here is one: D-STAR data protocol encapsulates Ethernet frames inside of
D-STAR frames, in turn those can contain IP frames. If I am in a mobile,
driving down a highway and using a series of access points, then receiving
a new 44.x.x.x address via DHCP from those access points keeps me connected
for services I am using.
I would implement that using a dynamic routing of a fixed address rather than assignment
of a dynamic address (and having to cope with a changing address).
