Shane, Right now people are building are community people in labs. It's been out 2 weeks, do you think Large Scale network people have even heard of it? I can tell you that all the big companies visited my LinkedIn. The people it addresses are first corporate. The addressing of the internet issues -- were kind of secondary. For example under BGP4 how many routes exist in today's how many would exist under IPv8 The point of introducing an "area code" is you only have to dial that and let the local exchange deal with. :) On Thu, Apr 30, 2026 at 4:35 PM Shane Ronan <shane@ronan-online.com> wrote:
Jamie,
Who is planning to build IPv8, because I can tell you as someone who works for one of the LARGEST networks in the US (both wireline and wireless), there are no plans here. Can you give us some names of the equipment manufacturers or large scale networks that have signed on to this idea?

Joe,
No patent apps it's all free. Corp isn't moving off ipv4 to ipv6. So ipv8 is an upgrade to ipv4.
So still need to fix the issues in ipv4/ipv6.
Like merging to companies both using 10.x
Unless a move is made ipv4 will still be running the warp drive.
People are planning to build ipv8 right now.

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.
OO.

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.
