URLs are an obvious candidate to consider because they're in use, seem to basically work to identify routing endpoints, and are far from a random, out of thin air, choice.
So explain in detail how a router gets from "URL" to "which interface to send the packet on". Include in your discussion how anycast works, and how to deal with things like www.google.com, which currently uses DNS and geolocation so not every host on the internet has the same view of what server(s) to contact. Problem example: My employer moved something from a 128.173/16 address to a 198.82/16 address without changing the name. How would your scheme address the fact that the routing may have changed, when the URL/hostname remains the same? Hint: If URLS or hostnames actually identified routing endpoints, we'd not have DNS.
