I think TCPng/UDPng with 32/48 bit port numbers combined with NAT/A+P, which is obviously fully operational with existing IPv4 backbone, is better.
Not a fan of port numbers. If we're going to replace TCP and UDP, initiate the link with a name (e.g. dns name), negotiate a connection ID and continue with the connection ID. No ports, no port scanning. QUIC comes pretty close to getting it right. -Bill -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
