@DLC@mstdn.social @py2toz@mastodon.radio That is how IP assignments started. Pick your unique number. Same with routing. Many ways work when there are few addresses. But scale that to billions and you hit limits. The BGP database currently has 1 million prefixes! BGP also facilitates the take anywhere, the routes dynamically recompute all the time. Read https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/organization/history-of-apnic/history-of-the-internet/ "The early registration models". Reticulum's value is in experimentation, but do not forget the known history and scaling lessons.
