⚡️🔎 TECH - The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has published a first draft of what IPv8—promised to replace IPv4 and IPv6—might look like. A simpler and definitive solution to the problem of Internet addresses.

In practical terms, IPv8 uses addresses consisting of 8 groups of 4 digits ranging from 0 to 255, rather than the 4 groups used in IPv4. This ensures full backward compatibility with IPv4. The IPv4 address “192.168.5.1” becomes the IPv8 address “0.0.0.0.192.168.5.1.”

IPv6 Failed:

This is not the first attempt to solve the problem of addressing devices on the Internet. Over 30 years ago, IPv6 was developed and deployed in an earlier effort to address the issue. The rollout was particularly complex and slow. IPv6 introduced an entirely new hexadecimal addressing system (for example: 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). https://blossom.primal.net/52f467c0cd50c1a2ccce857956ff23abbad4314371090eb30903378b4e4b0e42.jpg
