Some interesting information from the author, Jamie Thain, where they introduce the idea on nanog: https://seclists.org/nanog/2026/Apr/96 https://seclists.org/nanog/2026/Apr/96 I joined this list because, as part of IPv8, I am creating a BGPv8. Inside BGPv8, two new protocols CF (Cost Factor), weigh cost factors along the routes to produce a better metric. It's a hybrid of EIRGP mixed with BGP to create better engineering results. I also as part of CF created Sun Tzu which is the protocol that watches CF and gives you a CF score of reliability. Do I trust my partnership with you? Now, beyond an on-slaught of IPv8 is stupid, IPv6 solves every problem, etc, etc. That's not my discussion point. My point isn't "should I even propose IPv8" my point is what would be the best result for operators? So the things to know, IPV8 is NOT a 64 bit addressing system. It is a 32 bit routing system with a 32 bit addressing system. A Routing Number = ASNs plus others. 8.8.8.8 would become 15169.8.8.8.8 https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-thain-ipv8-02.html https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-thain-ipv8-02.html
