Nice work! Quick tip on the copy: continuous has two u's.
Routing at layer 2 (via MAC) is already implemented in the data center. See TRILL or Cisco's FabricPath.

At Internet scale, LISP (http://www.lisp4.net/) takes on the problem of a 'static' host address being reachable at any location.

Both of these rely upon the idea of encapsulation (mac-in-mac or ip-in-ip) to separate the location and host identity.

This article only looked at downstream traffic, so all the bandwidth management is done before you can touch the packets. On the upstream, Comcast is certainly re-marking (overwriting) the QoS values based on their own priorities.
