Adding four more bits to the Left of the Source Address and setting
those bits to 1111 (0xF) can help to start the migration to "Regions"
and more IPv4 Addresses - Using and Re-Using legacy

16 /8s for "Future use" - it looks like the "Future" has arrived

Overlapping IPv4 Address Support Wi-Fi Service Provider may segment the
network into regions. Two regions may use overlap IPv4 address space. This
is particularly important when the Internet is transitioning to IPv6. The
Wi-Fi SP may not have enough unique public IPv4 addresses to globally
address large number of Wi-Fi device.

Please tell me this is a poor attempt at humor.

Hell, years ago, I only wanted to add three bits and give a set to each
continent with one leftover for the United Federation of Planets (and
Antarctica really didn't need one anyway)...

I was told that would be geographically discriminating! :slight_smile:

Ah well, c'est la vie! Why be lazy when we can be more complicated?

[snip]
Any address extension scheme or change to IP addressing has to be
meaningfully interoperable for it to be useful; the method must be
standardized and become an accepted standard, otherwise it would be
utterly useless.

I would encourage you to read up on draft-ietf-lisp-22.

You all have encouraged me to filter 'nanog.guru' in both sender _and_ recipient fields.

If you insist on engaging the loons, please I beg you, cc them directly.
