what i said was "a superset of IP with a different packet format and wider fields"

well, yes obviously you need more bits. what you don't need is all the other changes.

> I really hope you stop respond in to people with nonsense before you look at the packet structure yourself.

don't be condescending.

Again, look at the IP header format and see for yourself that there is no place to create wider fields. This is what everyone here has been trying to tell you in a myriad ways and you are not hearing this. There is no possible way to do what you are proposing. What you are saying is the definition of nonsense because there is no sense in it. You are arguing that an 18 wheeler should be able to fit inside the trunk of a car and getting upset when people tell you that it doesn’t fit.
