@Andres4NY @KathyReid The sad truth is that some approaches to IPv7 or IPv8 or wotnot is that they require an incremental deployment story to be of any use, and that acts as a filter for many technologies, like TRILL or BGPSec. It's like the Daleks before Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor: it's no use just taking over the downstairs part of the world, mate.

@bms48 @KathyReid I'm going to have to disagree. We're not talking about world domination, we're talking about scalable independent networks that see slow, steady growth over time. Tor is a good example here, but that has never felt scalable (trading usability for security). But even with those issues, it still has a fairly decent user base. Plenty of other examples over there, but most layer on top of IPv4/6.
