Hi, a german computer magazine reported that China is developing their own IP address scheme as IPv9 ( http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/48859 ) in order to improve "security" (probably spelled: censorship). They cite http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2004-07/05/content_1572719.htm It is to be used inside China, and they will have routers as gateways to ipv4 and ipv6 and the borders of China (obviously not letting everything pass through). Does anyone know details about this protocol? What's the IETF's opinion (if IETF does have anything like an IETF's opinion) about such an effort? regards Hadmut _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
