The protocol we forgot... IPv5?

Exploring what happened between IPv4 and IPv6 in the history of the internet!

😬😬Sorry folks for the audio sync issue! Looks like there was a format/upload issue that is too late to fix now...

You live and learn, i'll fix it next time 🙂 Thanks for watching, Let me know what I should dive into next! ⁉

Nice video ... however ... incomplete! ... If you dig up IPv5 ... it becomes your duty also to care for IPv1, IPv2 and IPv3 ! ;-)

Number of IPv6 addresses=10^36
Number of atoms in the universe (estimated)=10^80

I'm making a bug report on this oversight for IPv7.

1:20 Personally, I like to visualize the amount of IPv6 Addresses like this: There are enough IPv6 addresses to give each atom in your body a unique address, but not enough to give each atom in every human a unique address.

IPv6 isn’t taking off because there’s no NAT’ing and if there’s no NAT’s, 98% of network engineers won’t have anything to do during the day.

[silasmayes]

If I could memorize an IPv6 address maybe I'd use it.

Thank you for using 2001:db8:: in your examples!

So there is a protocol number 5. But it wasn't an IP protocol.

[xoso]

Sometime in the 80s hardware manufacturers and software makes should have made IPv4.1 and bolted on 2 extra octets and left us with 290 trillion addresses.

According to Vint Cerf, one of the creators of IP, IPv4 was only a demo version for proof of concept and the release version was supposed to have a much larger address space. However, it escaped to become the Internet protocol we know today. Flow control was added later, after a big crash that no one initially understood. However, it was determined that it was a flow control issue and there was at that time no mechanism to deal with it. Also, the original IPv4 was entirely what later became known as class A addresses. That is there would be 8 bits for the network address and 24 for the host address. Of course, only 256 networks would be useless today.

I am a network engineer from Denmark and what is this “IPv6” I keep hearing about?
(lol 10% market penetration on ipv6 in Denmark)

Networking nerds and Linux nerds are two sides of the same coin

[CarterCrews]

first time viewer here, great video! i love learning about some of the kinda obscure tech history questions like this.

[MarkSinclair]

This networking nerd enjoyed the light harted talk. Sometimes... but only sometimes It's not always about being 100% accurate, but giving enough information to spark curiosity in others. THAT can be more powerful!

[IAmMarwood]

Not sure why the algorithm surfaced this video to me but glad it did!

Never see you before but what a clear, concise, interesting and fun video.

You’ve found yourself a new subscriber!

Serial Experiments Lain is about IPv7, which means that a fictional internet protocol version got more public attention than a real one

[jsalsman]

I vaguely remember someone saying the streaming thing which was IPv5 had been hopelessly encumbered by some patent.

[jenaf]

And we all know that protocol 7 uses schumann resonances but was also sabotaged by someone who thinks themself a god.

[chrisjacobsen]

I'm a network engineer, didn't hear anything wrong, actually learned something (about unimplemented protocols), good video.

Should probably do a video on subnet masks in IPv4 as it's more important than the ip address itself, that'll lead directly into a video on CIDR and why it was created to reduce the size of routing tables.

[JohnZakaria]

This is my first video I see of you and I love this style of talking me through a journey and explain why are we here and what we're the alternatives.
