  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.

    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

        You can use a ULA if you want to. That’s essentially the IPv6 equivalent of a private IP.

        Why though? Having the same IP for both internal and external solves a bunch of issues. For example, you don’t need to use split horizon DNS any more (which is where a host name has a different IP on your internal network vs on the internet). You just need to ensure your firewalls are set up properly, which you should do anyways.

    And nuke the hurricanes

      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

  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
