[The answer goes to both commenters] There are two groups that should update to v8 in order to be fully functional: users' OS net stack and ISPs' infra. The incompatibility of IPvs between two endpoints can be solved by a couple o

It's extremely difficult to compete with the US SW companies. Their products are so engaging and attractive that anyone till up to the leaders are tempted to use. It's not surprising that EU's attempt to de-USAisation happens

> How are you going to make v8 addressable from v4? I expected this question and have thought about it. Here is an idea: all nodes (PCs, routers etc) run an updated stack, which sends/receives 64bit addresses. If it receives 1:2:3:4

Something like 1:2:3:4:a:b:c:d where the most significant 32bits are a valid IPv4. The kernel figures out and keep all others the same (NAT etc). We extend the address space, not invent a new stack. The IPv6 critics shout out that this woul

If IPv6 doesn't dominate in the next, let's say, 10 years, they might publish the IPv8 which will be an 64bit space, backwards compatible with IPv4. It will be the only case where a newer version of software comes back closer to a

Gambling is a symptom of pre-depression or fulminant one. It's a defensive mechanism, quasi suicidal, in an attempt to distract the person from the real problems. It's the behavioural equivalent of drug addiction. Advertising it i

I still cannot understand why and what we are fighting for. Setting aside the wars of the previous decades, Russia was a long term ally with Ukraine, much like the USA and Canada and then out of nowhere they are in a "soft war". A
