China's New Generation Of IPv9 Network Technology Ready
At the New Generation Internet Ten-Digit Network Industrialization & Development Seminar held on June 25th at Zhejiang University, it was announced that China's Internet technology, IPv9, had been formally adapted and popularized into the civil and commercial sectors.
This has nothing to do with April Fool's jokes. http://www.tianyigroup.com/group_e/company3.htm On the other hand, the China Communications Standards Association doesn't seem to have any info on IPv9 but it has lots of stuff about IPv4 and IPv6. My guess it's some independent initiative like Realnames. http://searchenginewatch.com/sereport/article.php/2164841 And will likely meet with the same success. --Michael Dillon

(Yes, IPv5 is 'ST' which is why we got IPv6 now ;) Next to that CERNET2 is running fully on IPv6, that one from the IETF ;) See http://genkai.info/2003-1031/IPv6-development-in-China.ppt Thus I wonder which 'journalist' wrote this one up ;) It's July 2nd, not April 1st or is this correct on the chinese calender? :) "So far, China is the only country in the world that has consolidated domain names, IP addresses and MAC addresses into ten-digit text files." You gotta love that one. Also... 10 digits, hmm http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ch.html 8<---------- Population: 1,298,847,624 (July 2004 est) ---------->8 They really are not talking about a protocol for the internet or whatever else. With 10 digits they can't even give a single IP to every person _currently_ in China.... Funny journalism, but no cigar... Greets, Jeroen

this seems to be a new (and possibly hot air) product though, rather than rehashing of an old joke. though, what's surprising is who's going to deploy this "ipv9" across all the networks they say they'll deploy it.
It may be just me, but the choice of version number makes me think that Jim Fleming may be involved in this. Regards Marshall Eubanks On Fri, 02 Jul 2004 18:34:21 +0530 Suresh Ramasubramanian <suresh@outblaze.com> wrote:
