NETWORK LAYER PROTOCOL FOR REPLACING IPV6

摘要

A new network layer protocol with IPv4 compatibility is proposed. Use the existing Internet as the prototype to build Network Blocks of the same size. Expand the Internet address space by adding Network Blocks. The main ideas of this new protocol are: assign an identifying IP address, called Block Address, to each Network Block; connect each pair of the Network Blocks with a special gateway called Super Gateway; deliver data packets to their destination Network Blocks through Super Routing, which is a cooperation process of Super Gateways. The internet expanded using this protocol will be center-less, with its top level made of equal-footing Network Blocks. The existing internet will naturally become one of the Network Blocks which can be called the Old Block. Newly built Network Blocks will be connected seamlessly to the Old Block without changing the routing network; users of new Network Blocks will be able to visit the websites in the Old Block, thereby avoiding the IPv6 transition deadlock.
