Internet-Draft · Intended status: Standards Track Build the Branch, Ship the Solution. IPv8 is a managed network protocol suite that resolves IPv4 exhaustion, unifies network management, and stays 100% backward compatible — no flag day, no forced migration. Help fund the kernel build and the first reference implementation of the addressing schema. IPv8 = ASN + IPv4 // r.r.r.r + n.n.n.n $ ipv8 addr show r.r.r.r.n.n.n.n // 64-bit · IPv4 ⊂ IPv8 § 01 — Why IPv8 IPv6 fixed addresses. IPv8 fixes the operating model. After 25 years of dual-stack effort, IPv6 still carries a minority of global traffic. IPv8 takes a different bet: ship a coherent management suite first, and make the address upgrade a side-effect of running it. § 02 — Scope of work What the funds build. Two engineering tracks and one validation track, run by a dedicated project manager against the published Internet-Draft.…
