I believe that. However it behooves us to give any of our members' ideas a
fair hearing. I'm hoping he'll get some good push back in the session.

To say that Mr. Chen's EZIP proposal has not, thus far, been received

the world is still IPv4 dependent, it just could take off. ISOC-NY is

to give him the opportunity to expound on its merits.
We'd welcome some expert respondents.

Hi Joly,

If something like this was going to happen, we could have expanded the
v4 address space to 64 bits with IPxl:

At this point IPv6 has enough momentum that it can be safely expected
to happen. That means all proposals for extending the IPv4 address
space are basically dead in the water, especially complicated ones.

Bill Herrin
