privacy in ipv6 ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi,

would it be possible to insert some kind of 'privacy' flag into each
data packet in IPv6
so that the originating IP address would be scrambled at each router hop?
(kinda like how NAT works, but on internet backbone routers)

websites and other services that would be afraid of 'attacks' could opt out
and just drop such packets.

just wondering if something like this is already in production or if it
would be something interesting, because a lot of people are more and more
concerned with privacy and do not want to be traced by their
IP address. furthermore, this might help bolster net neutrality.

i run a small search engine and can't compete with google/bing because
a small handfull of providers (cloudflare, etc.) are blocking my legitimate crawler from
millions of the top websites.
