Hello,

Have you heard of IPv9? or it was IPv8?

China's Internet technology Ipv9,which being
compatible with IPv4 and IPv6,has been formally
adapted and popularized into the civil and commercial
sector.

IPv9 is the TUBA protocol - RFC 10xx - from the last century. :slight_smile:
  This is a modification that uses the 10digit telephone#.
  Tony Hain refered to this as "e164-like". Others have less
  complementary things to say.

"So far, China is the only country in the world that has consolidated
domain names, IP addresses and MAC addresses into ten-digit text files."

So they have a nationalized MAC registry?
Scary...

So they have a nationalized MAC registry?

Seems like China has nothing at all but a few people
in China know the power of marketing...

. . .
Professor Hualin Qian of the Computer Network Information
Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences described IPv9
as a research project that turned out to have serious
practical shortcomings and little support.
