IPv8 has been proposed...
and the crazy part is how simple it is for being so powerful.
- 8 octets instead of 4
- fully compatible with IPv4, no dual stacking.
- Can be rolled out as a software patch, no hardware replacement
- 1 device - the Zone Server - acts as DHCP, DNS, NAT (they call it XLATE8), ACL (east and west, north and south), NTP, and OAUTH
- BGP routers reduced to ~175,000 prefixes vs today's 900,000+
- A new metric for routing protocols called Cost Factor derived from RTT, loss, congestion state, stability, capacity, policy, and geography
Here is a blog that breaks down how it works (diagrams included): https://t.co/FKUgRQBUeJ
