Some interesting information from the author, Jamie Thain, where they introduce the idea on nanog:

https://seclists.org/nanog/2026/Apr/96

I joined this list because, as part of IPv8, I am creating a BGPv8. Inside BGPv8, two new protocols CF (Cost Factor), weigh cost factors along the routes to produce a better metric. It's a hybrid of EIRGP mixed with BGP to create better engineering results.

I also as part of CF created Sun Tzu which is the protocol that watches CF and gives you a CF score of reliability. Do I trust my partnership with you?

Now, beyond an on-slaught of IPv8 is stupid, IPv6 solves every problem, etc, etc. That's not my discussion point. My point isn't "should I even propose IPv8" my point is what would be the best result for operators?

So the things to know, IPV8 is NOT a 64 bit addressing system.

It is a 32 bit routing system with a 32 bit addressing system.

A Routing Number = ASNs plus others.

8.8.8.8 would become 15169.8.8.8.8
