In elaborate terms: you have the ability to change any one of the protocols, specifications, designs or standards of the above at their proposal stage or before their mass adoption. You may choose to modify or reject an existing one or create one by yourself.

Some users and I would have common ideas in mind, however I would love to see some esoteric ideas as well.

      This.

      Everyone is directly connected to the network.

      Everyone can host anything we want. No centralisation.

      Trivial peer to peer.

      A whole ecosystem of worms infesting every computer.

      …

      Wait, no, not that last one.

        ipv4 is a 32-bit number, which means the total number of possible addresses are 232 = 4 294 967 296, which is waaaaay less than the amount of computers we have today. ipv6 is a 128-bit number, so the total is 2128 = 340 282 366 920 938 463 463 374 607 431 768 211 456, which is more than all the grains of sand on earth.

        the only thing i’ve heard people don’t like about ipv6 is that the addresses are longer and have letters in them.
