This is a pointless discussion and this discussion regarding "ipv8" is
out of date.


Out of date ?....2002 or 2911 ?

128-bit DNS AAAA Record Flag Day Format
2002:[IPv4]:[16-bits for the outer header]:[64-bit IPv8 or IPv16 Persistent 
Address]
[YMDD]:[IPv4]:[16-bits for the outer header]:[64-bit IPv8 or IPv16 Persistent 
Address]
The 16-bits for the outer header are...
1-bit to set the "Spare" bit [S]
1-bit to set the Don't Fragment (DF) bit [D]
2-bits to select 1 of 4 common TTL values (255, 127, 31, 7) [LL]
1-bit to set No Options Supported [O]
7-bits to set the Identification Field(dst) [FFFFFFF]
4-bits to set the TOS(dst) Field [TTTT]
...SDLL.OFFF.FFFF.TTTT...0000.0000.0000.0000 (default)

...every 16 years, the net recycles...
