Re: Introducing : Brand-new Internet Protocol "Five Fields"

Going to 50-bit addresses with ten bits per field?
That makes no sense from a computing efficiency
viewpoint, as those are not powers of 2.


48 bits would be on octet boundaries, but harder to
process than 64 bits in a word (ATM had trouble with
48-byte payloads, too. A fudge between those who
wanted 32 bytes and those who wanted 64.)


IP protocol version 5 is already defined and in use
for RFC1190, and that use would have to be deprecated
first. Picking 7 is easier; for a long time someone
on this list was pushing an idea of IPv8... and IPv9.


(Try this: sitting through talks about how awesome IPv6 is
and how it solves addressing problems and routing table
problems, then asking innocently 'why is there a
jump from IPv4 to IPv6? What happened to 5?' If they can't
tell you that, then just maybe they shouldn't be trying
to sell you stuff.)

Where's the transition plan?
