IPv4 Plus ZiQiang Tang Internet-Draft Individual Intended status:Informational Expires: February 1, 2025 July 21, 2024 IPv4+ The Extended Protocol Based On IPv4 draft-tang-ipv4plus-13 Abstract This document specifies version 4+ of the Internet Protocol (IPv4+). IPv4 is very successful,simple and elegant. continuation and expansion of the IPv4 is necessary. Existing systems, devices only need to upgrade the software to support IPv4+, without the need to update new hardwares,saving investment costs. Ipv4+ is also an interstellar Protocol, so the Internet will evolve into a star Internet. Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community.

Introduction IPv4+ is an extended version of IPv4, 100% compatible with IPv4. IPv4+ expands the IPv4 IP addresses from 32-bit to 48-bit(v1) and 64-bit(v2), the investment in IPv4(softwares, hardwares, etc) is preserved. Everything you need to know is that IPv4+ added one "Door" for IPv4, and increase IP addresses via the "Door". 1.1. What is IPv4+ IPv4+ ="Door"+IPv4 1.2. What Is "Door" Just like "calling codes", the role of "Door" is to expand IPv4 addresses. There is a standard IPv4 address block(2^32) behind every "Door". Opening different "Door", you can go to another world. 1.3. Addressing IPv4+(v1) uses 48-bit addresses, which limits the address space to 281 474 976 710 656 (2^48) addresses, in other words, IPv4+(v1) has 65536(2^16) doors. IPv4+(v2) uses 64-bit addresses(2^64). IPv4+(v2) is still under study. 1.4. "Door Address" Each "Door" has a number, this number is called "Door Address". 1.5. Address representations IPv4+ is written in the dot-decimal notation same as the IPv4. 1.6. How to Distinguish Between "Door Address" and "IPv4" IPv4+ uses "|" to separate "Door Address" and "IPv4". 1.7. Format xxx.xxx|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx For example 8.8|8.8.8.8 ZiQiang Tang Internet-Draft [Page 3] 3GOMAN NRL Expires February 1, 2025 July 21, 2024 1.8. IP addresses types IPv4+ IP addresses are divided into three categories by purpose: Generic IP, TV IP, Phone IP. (TV IP assigned for TV or TV boxes, Phone IP assigned for mobile phones and fixed telephones. Phone IP includes Mobile IP and Fixed Telephone IP). 2. Features 1. IPv4+ and IPv4 are pure numbers, its advantage is that IP address can be used as a phone number. 2. IPv4+ can make a call by dialing an IP address to the whole solar system, and telecom users don't need phone number any more. 3. IPv4+ can be directly via IP address to achieve transfer, payments in the whole solar system. 4. IPv4+ can be directly via IP address to achieve Television Broadcast System in the whole solar system. 5. IPv4+ Assign IP addresses by geography, and assigned the IP address blocks to other planets in the universe: Artificial satellites, the Moon, Mars, etc. Modern space technology is growing rapidly, It is necessary to achieve a unified telephone, transfer, payments in the whole solar system, and this day is not far away. 3. Advantages Based on IPv4 Protocol and increase IP addresses. 4. Disadvantages Because IP addresses are assigned by geography, so some countries or regions will be too much IP addresses, and some countries or regions IP addresses will be insufficient, this can be solved by allocating more IP address blocks.

IPv4+ Packet Header Format and The Field Function The IPv4 Header Format is defined in [RFC791], IPv4+ added "Source Door Address" and "Destination Door Address" in IPv4's Options field. IPv4+ Header Format +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |Version(4)|IHL(4)|DSCP(6)|ECN(2) | Total Length (16) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Identification(16) | Flags(3) | Fragment Offset(13) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |Time to Live(8) | Protocol(8) | Header Checksum (16) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Source Address(32) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Destination Address (32) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Source Door Address(16) | Destination Door Address(16) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Options (length variable, if IHL > 6 ) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 1) The IPv4+ packet header consists of 16 fields, of which 15 are required. The IP header length is a minimum of 24 bytes and a maximum of 60 bytes. 2) If IHL=6, this means that this is IPv4+. 3) "Source Door Address"+"Source Address", "Destination Door Address"+"Destination Address" form a complete IPv4+ address. 4) "Door Address" does not need to use subnet mask or CIDR, so the minimum value for CIDR is 0, the maximum value is 32, not 48. 5) IPv4+(v1) only uses on the internet, private network continue using the IPv4 Private IP address. 6) Only 0.0|0.0.0.0/0----0.0|255.255.255.255/32 IP address block can assign Private IP address, loopback address.
