Routing and topology is a pain, and IPv4 is as lively as ever. Instead of trying to deploy IPv6, why not deploy HTTP instead? Not only can you expose the whole network topology to the public internet, you can even expose applications' virtual network topologies! And mpTCP over HTTP would also help. You could have your browser assign window numbers to each collection of tabs, and tab numbers to each tab, and expose that through TCP over HTTP. when moving tabs between windows, or reordering tabs, it could use mpTCP to maintain the connection. Additionally, Minecraft blocks could become individually addressable, with each block having its own HTTP-path-based IP address. This would also be great for VMs, and VMs within VMs, and we'd finally be able to host internet services from within a browser. It's win-win all around! As for IPv4, it would become a link layer protocol, similar to Ethernet. The main difference is that it'd span a Wide Area Network (WAN). Then again, what is Ethernet if not a protocol designed for being NATed, with IP and TCP deciding which Ethernet address to send the packet to?
