Internet Protocol Version 8 (IPv8) Draft: A Unified Zone Server Approach for Future Networks
Summary
This Internet-Draft proposes Internet Protocol Version 8 (IPv8), a 64-bit address-space network protocol with a Zone Server architecture that unifies DHCP8, DNS8, NetLog8, OAuth8, and more. It claims backward compatibility with IPv4 and aims to address address exhaustion and routing-table growth via ASN-based prefixes and WHOIS8 validation. The draft is a work-in-progress and not yet standardized.
