Makes sense, Abe, for the next version.

Note that the intention is NOT any to ANY. A native IPv6 IoT device can only talk to another IPv6 device, where that other device may use a YATT address or any other IPv6 address.
But it cannot talk to a YADA node. That’s what I mean by baby steps for those who want to.

Keep safe;

Hi, Pascal:

What I would appreciate is an IP packet header design/definition layout, word-by-word, ideally in bit-map style, of an explicit presentation of all IP addresses involved from one IoT in one realm to that in the second realm. This will provide a clearer picture of how the real world implementation may look like.

Thanks,

As I understand: “IPv4 Realms” between “Shaft” should be capable to have a plain IPv4 header (or else why all of these).
Then Gateway in the Shaft should change headers (from IPv4 to IPv6).
Who should implement this gateway and why? He should be formally appointed to such an exercise, right?
Map this 2 level hierarchy to the real world – you may fail with this.

Hello Eduard:

Did you just demonstrate that POPs cannot exist? Or that there cannot be a Default Free Zone?
I agree with your real world issue that some things will have to be planned between stake holders, and that it will not be easy.
But you know what the French say about “impossible”.
Or to paraphrase Sir Arthur, now that we have eliminated all the impossible transition scenarios, whatever remains…

There will be YADA prefixes just like there are root DNS. To be managed by different players as you point out. And all routable within the same shaft.

Keep safe;

Hi Pascal,
In general, your idea to create a hierarchy is good.
In practice, it would fail because you have created a virtual hierarchy that does not map to any administrative border. Who should implement gateways for the “Shaft”? Why?
If you would appoint Carrier as the Shaft responsible then it is not enough bits for Shaft.
If you would appoint Governments as the Shaft responsible then would be a so big scandal that you would regret the proposal.
Hence, I do not see proper mapping for the hierarchy to make YADA successful.

For the sake of it, Justin, I just published https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-thubert-v6ops-yada-yatt/.
The first section of the draft (YADA) extends IPv4 range in an IPv4-only world. For some people that might be enough and I’m totally fine with that.

Abe:

To your first point about denying that anyone is being stopped from working on IPv4, I'm referring to users being able to communicate via IPv4.  I have seen no evidence of that.

I'm not familiar with the process of submitting ideas to IETF, so I'll leave that for others who are more knowledgeable on that to speak up if they're so inclined.

Thank you
jms

1)    "... no one is stopping anyone from working on IPv4 ...     ":   After all these discussions, are you still denying this basic issue? For example, there has not been any straightforward way to introduce IPv4 enhancement ideas to IETF since at least 2015. If you know the way, please make it public. I am sure that many are eager to learn about it. Thanks.
