[vbox-dev] I'm developing next-gen Internet Protocol "Five Fields" (IP-FF) + Happy new Year 2016 !

[Alexey Eromenko]

While not directly related to VirtualBox, networking is a major part
of any virtualization platform, and since VirtualBox is an Open-Source
project I decided to share a bit with you, the Open-Source community.

=========================
Secretly in the shadows, I have been developing a new Internet
Protocol "Five Fields" for quite some time. It is designed to be
better than IPv4 and IPv6. And even made a nice presentation about
IP-FF and it's features:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XbqWOwv0GASmSjYZimfK64QKQQ-0yK9xQ1_spRhlf8Y/edit?usp=sharing

It now consists of 10 parts: (submitted as IETF draft RFCs)

1. Internet Protocol - Five Fields:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff/

2. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: Addressing Architecture
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-addressing/

3. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: Babysitter (new NAT)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-babysitter/

4. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: DHCP
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-dhcp/

5. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: DNS extensions
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-dns/

6. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: ICMP
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-icmp/

7. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: Link Address Resolution Algorithm
(ARP replacement)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-lara/

8. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: Mobile TCP (Mobile IP replacement)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-mops/

9. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: TCP.64 extensions
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-tcp64/

10. Internet Protocol - Five Fields: UDP
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eromenko-ipff-udp/

Basically advanced NAT {+ UDP tunnel) may become a transition method
from current IPv4.

And if you'd like to co-operate with me, let me know.

Happy new year 2016, and new Internet begging !
Happy VirtualBoxing !
