IPv6 in the boardroom
By Terry Sweetser on 13 May 2026
Omg, I came across the totalitarian fever dream that is called #IPv8. Why is it even reported on? Takes 2 mins to realise:
- Website is 100% AI
- Vast portions of the proposal most probably too
- Everyone can propose an Internet Draft and have it published on ietf.org
- Author is called "veteran network architect" but has no track record and hides behind entity registered in Bermuda

The pain is real.
