Just a quick thought...
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. Anyone remember the outcome? It seems obvious IPv6 won, but I am curious as to why... Jerry jeyers@rebma.com

intellectual property issues? the IETF could not get change control on V8? :)

Vroooooooooooom <grin> But ford has a /8 in IPv4 so they surely would like it if the protocol carried their name too :)

http://www.iana.org/assignments/version-numbers : 8 PIP The P Internet Protocol [PXF] eg: http://ntrg.cs.tcd.ie/undergrad/4ba2/ipng/ian.pip.html http://free.vlsm.org/v01/internet/ietf/00/0019.txt and more if you google around... 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 :)
