IPv6 is deployed? There is a routine thread here a couple of times a year complaining about how it isn't. On Thu, Apr 30, 2026 at 12:44 PM Lucien Hoydic via NANOG < nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote:
I see no need for this IPv8. IPv6 was carefully engineered over many years and while not perfect, works and is deployed. What problem are you trying to solve? I seem to have missed that.
No one is going to adopt IPv8. This is an academic discussion at best.

This is very funny!
- In 2004, very talented Chinese developers worked to implement IPv9. At present there are exclusive patents, but have yet to seen any code.
- Over 20 cumulative years, there are about 0.5–2 trillion IPv6 address instances, with the high side is driven by mobile devices, Wi-Fi roaming, privacy-address rotation, VMs, containers, VPNs, and tunnels. In short, this covers the ocean floor, caves, areas near Earth, and deep space. Will you and your team pay for the IPv4/IPv6 change? When will you submit the patent applications (Similary to Microsoft patent for SEND/CGA)?
Have fun.

Only works when the recipient is actually open to receiving feedback and collaborating.
Reading Mr. Thain's replies here and on int-area answers that question quite rapidly.
