Let’s just adopt the whole superset thing and have ipv4.1 or something. Those are some pretty rancid enhancements.
Comment on What is the deal with IPv6?

FYI, there’s a new proposal for IPv8 to address the issues with ipv6.
The main benefit seems to be that it is a superset of IPv4, so all existing addresses remain valid.
It also has some questionable ‘enhancements’ like requiring DNS records in order to allow routing.

Ipv8 isn’t a real proposal being taken seriously by anyone just fyi. The original white paper was AI slip with full on audited sources.
