Common Misconception
With Spread Spectrum IP Addressing the 32-bit Source Address Field is
Shifted LEFT 2-bits by the originator of the packet.
That Folds the IPv4 Legacy Address Space into 1/4th tsize table
The lost 2-bits are stored in the Right-Most 2 bits of the 32-bit
field and in other places in the IPv4 Header
The Destination can easily recover the Source Address - if the proper
algorithms are in use
Responses blindly sent back to the shifted Source Address may fall
into agile hands or not
With the advanced Spread-Spectrum techniques, additional addressing
bits are created from the noise intentionally stored in the Right-Most
2 bits
NANOG Operators buying /8s or /6s may want to look at the
Spread-Spectrum CODE in the Linux-based CPE Routers
The following table is deprecated and 1/4th the size:

With Spread-Spectrum collisions and mis-directions are OK and expected but other
techniques ensure the packets get to the right place.

Is it April already? I though April Fools Day wasn't until next month.
I did, I did. I did see a snake-oil salesman!
It sounds like the "IPv3" / "IPv8" guy crawled back out of the woodwork.
Yeah, April fools is next month, but that's for actual pranks/jokes;
I suspect the poster
is actually serious, however misguided; April fools is just one day

I am reminded of: "The mathematical reality of IPv4".
At least that made for interesting bed time reading...

I knew the ICANN expansion of TLDs would lead to no good...
show some sympathy or hit delete. this is likely a very sad person who
needs professional, and i do not mean net geek, help.

A unique way to get his two bits in.
I trust he remembers to set the evil bit -- for mandatory RFC 3514
compliance.
