I believe the IPv8 you are referring to was hardly a serious proposal.
Regardless, 7, 8 and 9 were reserved for TP/IX, PIP and TUBA
respectively.

If we're including proposals not taken seriously, we should include
IPv16, although it always made my head hurt to fit that number into a
4-bit field.
I do believe the proposer took them seriously, though.


Group symmetries of multiword bus using tristate tryte word architectures:

a 4-tristate nibble has 99 states.
9 phrases of 12 tristates = 324 bits
3 words of 4 tristates = 1 36bit phrase
2 6bit trytes  = 12bit word

Oops! these are nibbles, so lets double in...
3 bytes = 2 trytes = 1 word.
This is wrong, it is 3 nibbles = 2 trytes = 1 word. We will need a 40 bytes + 1 nibble register width.

Is this right? I think so. Is this right? I am not sure at all. It's instinct.

9 nibbles = 3 words = 1 phrase.
9 phrases = 27 words = 81 nibbles

Alright, that;s better

logical symmetry: 99 tristate nibbles is 324bits.
