I agree that the underlying transport could be IPv6 rather than IPv4. If
the development and use of this takes as much time as IPv6, IPv4 might be
mostly out of use before it gets anywhere toward a standard.
However, the discussion seems to be mostly directed like CIDR and NAT
before it toward
HI Albert,
New IP does not require IPv4 nor is it limited to 32 bit address space.
In fact, from my reading, address length may not even be fixed.
In any case, this is still too far from any final form to really comment on its
technical merits.
Personally I find the use case fails to excite me an
This protocol is NOT an end to end protocol, and therefore divides
addresses into 2 groups:
1) Directly addressable hosts, which are limited to the same 4.3B limit as
IP4, the protocol used to transmit it, and limits the use of direct
addresses to aware gateways of the "New IP".
2) Indirectl
