IPV4.2: IPV4 with six octets. We'd have it well before now if the second system effect and the architecture astronauts had been quelled.

No. It still wouldn’t be backwards compatible and would have the same exact implementation problems as IPv6 would.

Besides a 48 bit address length makes very little sense.

v6 is already at 45% of google search traffic, it seems pretty inevitable at this point

About ~75% of my traffic by TBs at home is IPv6. Of course a lot of it is Netflix & Youtube etc., but still.

Not sure how it’s looking like per host.
