Thought: (disclaimer: I don't know much about networking) IPv4 addresses are in some cases 'human readable' / 'human usable' / 'human friendly'. How can one set up a temporary network of several devices for a LAN party or any similar connecting application use cases? >From my own experience, the vast majority of people have no idea that when one tells you "write in: ten zero zero eight", they have to put dots in between. Because they have no idea what IP address is and how it's formatted. I can't imagine I would say this out loud to even a tech experienced person and they would get it right the first time. 1a01:4204:b07d:af00:21c6:542a:611:73ea Not mentioning all the times I need to connect devices in many rooms across several floors in the whole building. Is there any easy way to keep exchanging the IP address 'human usable' ? -- Michal Schorm Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat -- On Thu, May 25, 2023 at 10:51 PM Petr Menšík <pemensik@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I have attended recently csnog.eu conference [1], where some interesting > presentations took place.
