  Problem with this approach Fred is that this has already been attempted and
Jim's IPv8
was simply ignored by the IETF.  That was a very unfortunate decision on the
part of the
IETF.

  First one has to be able to communicate on a reasonable basis before one can
make
any real progress in this direction.  It doesn't seem that the IETF  was
interested for
whatever reason.
