Omg, I came across the totalitarian fever dream that is called #IPv8. Why is it even reported on? Takes 2 mins to realise:
- Website is 100% AI
- Vast portions of the proposal most probably too
- Everyone can propose an Internet Draft and have it published on ietf.org
- Author is called "veteran network architect" but has no track record and hides behind entity registered in BermudaWhat real experts say

The dude with AI psychosis who proposed #IPv8 is running a gofundme.
Can we… not?

Veteran network architect proposes IPv8 – to improve IPv4, not leapfrog v6

Considering the backlinks to our Article -Anyone interested in our IP8 Coin? Should we launch an ICO on that?

So, for the folks going on about #IPv8… been there, done that. IPv8 was already proposed and allocated 32 years ago. It didn’t go anywhere. I’m 100% certain a similar fate awaits this new one. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1621

Wie heißt es so schön? Glaube nicht alles, was im Internet steht. Journalistische Meisterleistung, mal wieder.

#IPv8 It seems like clever solution for all of us out there, who are struggeling with #IPv6 adresses and logic.
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-thain-ipv8-00.html
"IPv4 is a proper subset of IPv8. An IPv8 address with the routing prefix field set to zero is an IPv4 address. No existing device, application, or network requires modification. The suite is 100% backward compatible. There is no flag day and no forced migration at any layer."

IPV8
When someone says;
"Centralise Everything it is cheaper and easier and more convenient"
Walk away.
Go do something useful with your time.https://lowendbox.com/blog/vibe-drafting-ietf-proposals-is-now-a-thing-the-ipv8-proposal/

[ edit for a mistake with my pasting of links.]
IF the big corps/tech bros back this protocol ... then you really know.
Networks do distribution.
The above links cover this way better and more cogently than I ever will.
(or could)My knowledge base here is too many layers down :)

@0xabad1dea Well, this explains that late April Fool’s day draft. #IPv8

#IPv8 is great and all, but I think this RFC is a lot more thought through, can totally get behind it https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html

Vibe-Drafting IETF Proposals is Now a Thing (The IPv8 Proposal) https://lowendbox.com/blog/vibe-drafting-ietf-proposals-is-now-a-thing-the-ipv8-proposal/ #Editorial&News #ietf #ipv4 #ipv6 #ipv8

IPv8 выглядит как мечта. Поэтому почти наверняка не взлетит
В IETF появился draft, который обещает интернет без dual-stack, без CGNAT и без мучительного перехода. Спасение для всех, кто двадцать лет тащит IPv6 в гору, не станет будущим сети. draft-thain-ipv8-00 , опубликованный 14 апреля 2026 года на бумаге выглядит слишком хорошо: IPv4 становится подмножеством IPv8, dual-stack будто бы больше не нужен, каждому владельцу ASN достаётся по 2^32 адресов хостов, а сеть получает единую управляемую платформу вместо нынешнего зоопарка из разрозненных сервисов. История с IPv8 интересна не как новость про новый IP-протокол. Она очень громко показывает, насколько индустрия устала от бесконечного, вязкого и дорогого перехода на IPv6.
