That would allow for like, 2 trillion devices? Feels like a bandaid, my dude. Next you’re gonna suggest a giant ice cube in the ocean once a year to stop global warming.
Hurricanes cannot cross the equator. The equator is an imaginary line, and hence has zero mass. We can end every hurricane using zero point zero energy (0.0).
You could follow this logic and add 2 alphanumeric digits before 4 numeric octets. E.g. xf.192.168.1.1
This would at least keep it looking like an IP and not a Mac address. Another advantage would be graceful ipv4 handling with a reserved range starting with “ip” like ip.10.10.10.1
Oh yeah, great, let’s change the fundamental protocol on which all the networks in the world are based. Now two third of the devices in the world crashed because you tried to ping 192.168.0.0.1
IPv6 was a mistake. We should have just added an addition octet

And nuke the hurricanes

o.O
ONCE AND FOR ALL
AND MY AXE!

So add two more octets:
Moat companies will still just use something like 10.0.13.37.0.1
IPv6 is not made with internal networks in mind lol

that WOULD be quite funny for the first second or 2…
Could have sped up adoption significantly.
They played us for absolute fools!
Plus the MAC address
heared of ipv5?
