Hi All,
My name is Jamie Thain I'm the creator of IPv8. It's not a hoax.
I joined this list because, as part of IPv8, I am creating a BGPv8. Inside
BGPv8, two new protocols CF (Cost Factor), weigh cost factors along the
routes to produce a better metric. It's a hybrid of EIRGP mixed with BGP to
create better engineering results.
I also as part of CF created Sun Tzu which is the protocol that watches CF
and gives you a CF score of reliability. Do I trust my partnership with
you?
Now, beyond an on-slaught of IPv8 is stupid, IPv6 solves every problem,
etc, etc. That's not my discussion point. My point isn't "should I even
propose IPv8" my point is what would be the best result for operators?
I believe that since IPv8 solves the duopoly problem, it will replace
IPv4.
So the things to know, IPV8 is NOT a 64 bit addressing system.
It is a 32 bit routing system with a 32 bit addressing system.
A Routing Number = ASNs plus others.
8.8.8.8 would become 15169.8.8.8.8

So each ASN in the world will have 3 Billion available addresses.
There is a specially reserved group of internal ASN 127.x.x.x so each corp,
org, has 16 Million areas of 3 Billion addresses, to replace 10.x.x.x and
100.64.x.x.x
I'd appreciate your thoughts on it
Jamie
Not that we have expected everyone we talked to would join our IX, but the answer that some gave puzzled me. There have been a few variations of "We don't have a peering router in that market."
All routers peer, so what does that mean to you? How do people use that term?
