Peering over a direct L2 link without IP addresses

Question

As part of a big solution incorporating blockchain and data networking, I'd like to know how would 2 nodes establish a blockchain peering on their direct L2 Ethernet Link that has no IP addresses configured?

In other words; is it possible to establish peering based on MAC addresses not IP addresses?

Thanks

No, node URL explicitly requires IP address.

The hostname can only be given as an IP address, DNS domain names are
  not allowed.
