a question: is possible to have two host with the same IP and different

Someone said me it works in practice, but not in theory. Is it right?

IMHO, the IP, most of other such protocols and basically computers are
based on discrete integer mathematics. Hence, the theory and practice
should be one and the same anyway.

Moreover, I don't find any reason to assign same IP address to more than
one machine live on a LAN. If I'm not wrong all subnets are somehow part
of a net and, or supernet, though these may be on different LAN segments.

BTW, Is it possible you and, or that someone will let us know what you
are trying to accomplish?
