You currently can't change your endpoint address on existing connections without breaking them, unless you have a protocol that's aware of the possibility and uses a broker or some other method to re-establish the link. This wouldn't really be any different. I don't think you'd want your network address to change on a mesh, it would just find a different path to reach it.

It might make sense to use something similar to MPLS that can encapsulate IP, to hide the details of the mesh network.
