         A Historical Perspective On The Usage Of IP Version 9

Abstract

 

   This paper reviews the usages of the old IP version protocol. It

   considers some of its successes and its failures.

 

Introduction

 

   The take-up of the network protocol TCP/IPv9 has been phenomenal over

   the last few years. Gone are the days when there were just a few

   million hosts, and the network was understood. As the IP version 9

   protocol comes to the end of its useful life, once again due to

   address space exhaustion, we look back at some of the success of the

   protocol.

 

Routing

 

   The up to 42 deep hierarchy of routing levels built into IPv9 must

   have been one of the key features for its wide deployment. The

   ability to assign a whole network, or group of networks to an

   electronic component must be seen as one of the reasons for its

   takeup. The use of the Compact Disk Hologram units is typical of the

   usage. They typically have a level 37 network number assigned to each

   logical part, and a level 36 network number assigned to the whole

   device. This allows the CDH management protocol to control the unit

   as a whole, and the high-street vendor to do remote diagnostics on

   discreet elements of the device. This still allows sub-chip routing

   to be done using the 38th level addressing to download new nanocode.

   As yet, no requirement has been found for levels 40-42, with level 39

   still being used for experimental interrogation of atomic structure

   of components where required.

Allocation

 

   The vast number space of the IPv9 protocol has also allowed

   allocation to be done in a straight forward manner. Typically, most

   high street commercial internet providers issue a range of 1 billion

   addresses to each house. The addresses are then dynamically

   partitioned into subnet hierarchies allowing groups of a million

   addresses to be allocated for each discreet unit (e.g., room/floor

   etc.) The allocation of sub groups then to controllers such as light

   switches, mains sockets and similar is then done from each pool.

 

   The allocation process is again done in a hierarchical zoned way,

   with each major application requesting a block of addresses from its

   controller. In this way the light bulb requests an address block from

   the light switch, the light switch in turn from the electrical system

   which in turn requests one from the room/floor controller. This has

   been found to be successful due to the enormous range of addresses

   available, and contention for the address space being without

   problems typically.

 

   Whilst there are still many addresses unallocated the available space

   has been sharply decreased. The discovery of intelligent life on

   other solar systems with the parallel discovery of a faster-than-

   light transport stack is the main cause. This enables real time

   communication with them, and has made the allocation of world-size

   address spaces necessary, at the level 3 routing hierarchy. There is

   still only 1 global (spatial) level 2 galaxy wide network required

   for this galaxy, although the establishment of permanent space

   stations in deep space may start to exhaust this. This allows level 1

   to be used for inter-galaxy routing. The most pressing problem now is

   the case of parallel universes.  Of course there is the danger of

   assuming that there is no higher extrapolation than parallel

   universes...

 

   Up to now, the hacking into, and setting of holo-recorder devices to

   the wrong channel from remote galaxies, has not been confirmed, and

   appears to be attributable to finger problem with the remote control

   whilst travelling home from the office.

 

Applications

 

   The introduction of body monitors as IPv9 addresseable units injected

   into the blood stream has been rated as inconclusive. Whilst being

   able to have devices lodged in the heart, kidneys, brain, etc.,

   sending out SNMPv9 trap messages at critical events has been a useful

   monitoring tool for doctors, the use of the blood stream as both a

   delivery and a communication highway, has been problematic. The

   crosstalk between the signals moving through the blood stream and the

   close proximity of nerves has meant that patients suffering multiple

   events at once, can go into violent spasm. This, coupled with early

   problems with broadcasts storms tending to make patients blood boil,

   have led to a rethink on this whole procedure. Also, the requirement

   to wear the silly satellite dish hat has led to feelings of

   embarrassment except in California, where it is now the latest trend.

 

   The usage of IPv9 addresseable consumer packaging has been a topic of

   hot debate. The marketing people see it as a godsend, being able to

   get feedback on how products are actually used. Similarly, the

   recycling is much improved by use of directed broadcast, "All those

   packages composed of cardboard respond please." Consumers are not so

   keen on this seeing it as an invasion of privacy. The introduction of

   the handy-dandy directed stack zapper (which is also rumoured to be

   IPv9 aware) sending directed broadcasts on the local food package net

   effectively resetting the network mask to all 1's has made this an

   area of choice.

 

   The advent of the IPv9 magazine was universally approved of. Being

   able to ask a magazine where its contents page was the most useful of

   the features. However combined with the networked newspaper/magazine

   rack, the ability to find out where you left the magazine with the

   article that was concerned with something about useage of lawn mowers

   in outer space is obvious. The ability to download reading habits

   automatically into the house controller and therefore alert the

   reader of articles of similar ilk is seen as marginal. Alleged

   querying of this information to discover "deviant" behaviour in

   persons within political office by members of contending parties is

   suspected

 

   Sneakernet, as pioneered by shoe specialists skholl is seen to be a

   failure. The market was just not ready for shoes that could forward

   detailed analysis of foot odour to manufacturers...

 

Manufacture

 

   Of course, cost is one of the issues that was not considered when

   IPv9 was designed. It took a leap of imagination to believe that one

   day anything that wished to be could be IPv9 addresseable. It was

   assumed that IPv9 protocol machines would drop in price as with

   general chip technology. Few people would have forseen the advance in

   genetic manipulation that allowed viruses to be instructed to build

   nano-technology IPv9 protocol machines by the billion for the price

   or a grain of sugar. Or similarly, the nano-robots that could insert

   and wire these in place.

   The recent research in quark-quark transistors, shows some promise

   and may allow specially built atoms to be used as switches. The

   manufacture of these will be so expensive (maybe up to 10cent an IPv9

   stack) as to be prohibitive except for the most highly demanding

   niches.

 

Conclusions

 

   Those who do not study history, are doomed to repeat it.

 

Security Considerations

 

   Security issues are not discussed in this memo.
