The April 2026 IPv8 IETF draft builds on lessons from IPv6, solving address exhaustion, improving network security with OAuth2 and JWTs, and bounding BGP routing table growth — while remaining 100% backward compatible with IPv4.
IPv8 gives every org 4 billion host IPs, builds on familiar IPv4 concepts, and unifies DHCP, DNS, auth and telemetry into a single Zone Server. This talk walks through the April IETF draft and what adoption could look like for your organization.
