Re: [gaia] 0xE arth IPv6 addessing

Thanks Dino, 

Yeah so 0xE0/4 seems like a reasonable basis. And then each of the (sub)continental areas could manage their subsets of it. 

I was also thinking for backwards compatibility with IPv4, 
various ISP or hosting providers could give purely IPv6 eco-system,
but that the gateway could have an IPv4 proxy host. 
So if the regular gateway was :1/48  then :624::/48 would be the proxy,
and IPv4 addresses could simply be mapped to the last 32 bits. 
and DNS A queries would just resolve to use the proxy. That way can avoid the complexity of a dual stack. 

It would be possible to have a map similar to openstreet maps or something, of all the 0xE0 allocations, so could identify where an IP is from, or for ISP's and such to figure out which to use for their clients in an area. 

And this system would have the added benefit that even if the internet was to go down, the local area would have everything they need to continue operating locally. Especially if they had a DNS server of the local 0xE0 mappings.  And should be able to seamlessly reintegrate even if they are detached for a while. 

Considering there is only around 8 years of world oil reserves remaining. It is quite plausible that we may experience major societal disruptions including large network downtown, possibly spanning years or decades, while society reboots. Though those areas which are well prepared, and have thorium salt reactors or other sources of reliable energy would still be able to keep up and possibly even maintain network hardware.

Klaus Schwab is salivating over it all coming tumbling down almost on a weekly basis. Meanwhile even basic hosting services are getting ever more expensive and fleeing from affordability, due to the costs of managing the expensive insanity.

As a voluntary standard, allowing countries to migrate over without having to buy tiny little IPv6 tunnels from greedy wholesalers. IPv6 is supposed to be a native standard, not an overlay.
