Making Use of 240/4 NetBlock

["Abraham Y. Chen" <aychen () avinta com>]

Hi, Jordi:

1)    " ... Because it is a single Internet, and what we do in some 
parts of Internet will affect others? ... ":    The nice thing about the 
EzIP scheme is that it proposes a collection of overlay network modules 
(the RAN - Regional Area Network), each is tethered from the existing 
Internet core via one IPv4 public address as the umbilical cord which 
isolates the two, except exchanging IP packets conforming to the 
established Internet protocol. So, EzIP essentially proposes to create a 
parallel cyberspace practically independent of the current one. There 
should be no concern about interfering each other.

2)    " ... many previous unsuccessful discussions at IETF about 240/4: 
...   ":     Perhaps I am from the old engineer school, I was inspired 
by a street legend that,

    After Thomas Edison tried over one thousand types of material to 
replace the lead-acid battery, people with conventional wisdom declared 
that he had failed one thousand times. Edison responded by saying that 
"I now know there are at least one thousand types of material that can 
not replace the lead-acid battery.

    The moral of the story is that after one century, we are now 
beginning to use Lithium based battery which by itself went through 
tremendous amount of R&D efforts. So, I highly respect those who focus 
on alternative possibilities, instead of those regurgitating on 
unsuccessful discussions of proposals, let alone those avoid studying 
the root cause of the failed experiments.

Because it is a single Internet, and what we do in some parts of Internet will affect others?

Because, at least in my case, I'm investing my efforts in what it seems to be the best in the long-term for the global 
community, not my personal preferences?

    Why are so many otherwise smart engineers so vulnerable to false
    dilemma style fallacies? There's no "either/or" here. It's not a zero
    sum game. If you don't see value in doing more with IPv4 then why
    don't you get out of the way of folks who do?
