Common Misconception: One additional bit of IPv4 Addressing will solve world hunger
Why not just fold source and destination into a single 64 bit end station address field, and use the evil bit to say whether or not the packet is going to, or coming from, google. We could call it IPv5, or IPv4++. and I am sure the merchants would have it in silicon within a week. Sadly this is a few weeks too early for people to be seriously thinking of an RFC for this.
