Vroooooooooooom <grin> But ford has a /8 in IPv4 so they surely would like it if the protocol carried their name too :)
I haven't had time to look, but just for my clarification, why was IPv8 not pursued further. I remember there was a discussion on IPv6 vs IPv8 and the argument to go directly to IPv8 instead, but I had to drop out from following the discussions since.

Greets, Jeroen PS: Nooo... IPv8 and IPv16 mentioned by a certain person have nothing to do with it, even better there is no spec of those :)
