And just like NAT with IPv4, we will use hacks to get around implementing a proper solution for decades (and counting).
With satellite internet taking off, and actual interest in extraterrestrial colonies from e.g. NASA and SpaceX, I think we need a proper space communication protocol. Maybe it can all be solved in L2, but I think we will soon be looking at 255 hops the way we look at the limited address space of v4.

- AdrianoKF 6y agoInteresting (but probably not too surprising) to see that DTN research is alive and kicking! I wrote a short seminar paper on DTN protocols as an undergrad in '09, so thanks for the trip down memory lane!
