If we don’t end up needing to fix other things and replace the codebase with something that would allow us to redo the address space in the next 120 years, I’ll be quite surprised.
Hi Owen, I bet you're wrong about that. I've been doing experiments with using ephemeral aggregated address hierarchies instead of routing. That's about as radical a change as changes get. No surprise that TCP fails, DNS blows up and the static subnet is rendered obsolete. One of the surprises was that IPv6 itself, the layer 3 protocol, works as well as anything new that could be designed.
