You've heard of IPv6, but are you ready for IPv8?

[fxchip@hachyderm.io]

@ehashman
Is this... for real?

[itgrrl@infosec.exchange]

@ehashman that’s just IPv6 with two extra cylinders so it goes faster ‍️

wake me when they release an RFC for IPv11…

[ancoghlan@mastodon.social]

@drwho @ehashman I'm still not convinced there isn't a typo or unexpected publishing delay in the release date...

[kit@m.tripulse.link]

@ehashman@cloudisland.nz commercials for ipv8 will involve a disembodied hand slamming a router down onto the table followed by a deep voice saying "could have had ipv8"

[tisba@ruby.social]

@ehashman funny that IPv6 is only mentioned in two places, each with exactly the same two sentences!

[synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net]

@ehashman cant tell if its serious or parody.

[wrybane@wizzards.club]

@ehashman

- uses 8 in the header's version field
- "no existing device requires modification"

Why isn't it dated April 1?

[ehashman@cloudisland.nz]

@meena I think this is unrelated

[grindhold@23.social]

@ehashman "Devices communicate only with their designated service gateway. The service gateway communicates only with the designated cloud service. Lateral movement between devices or zones is architecturally prevented by the absence of any permitted route to any other destination." WTF

[cereal_cable@mastodon.social]

@ehashman absolutely nuts, it's too late to be seeing this shit.

[ehashman@cloudisland.nz]

@meena yeah but that document doesn't actually exist

[ojs@c.im]

@ehashman what ever happened to v7?

[ehashman@cloudisland.nz]

@ojs same thing that happened to IPv5

[wohali@timeloop.cafe]

@ehashman this is getting too much traction, it's just your standard net.krank shitpost

[zhenech@chaos.social]

@ehashman @meena the ∆t of 13 days is very confusing on the original document

[conornash@mastodon.social]

@ehashman I’ll raise you one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv9_(China)
