Motivation

Decentralization

  • Allow multiple address domains and inter-addressing. This should enable anyone to design own address registration authority. To communicate with other domains there is necessary to establish inter-domain addressing rules. Because length of address should be variable then anyone could map fully own top level address domain to other address domain.
  • Mapping entire address space into node in other address space.
  • Avoid single entity like IANA to rule entire global address space and charge for assigned address ranges.
  • Support inter-planetary addressing independent to single entity located on single planet

Dynamic address size

  • Allow variable length address.
  • Allow short address for embedded and IoT devices.

Dynamic address segment

  • Allow one address segment to be more then 256

Description

Usage of variable length numbers

Address notation

Address can be simply written as numbers separated by dots like "1.22.36.4222.5.56". Here first number is top most address segment and further numbers are define lower levels of address. Address space can be imagined as tree where branches can grow as necessary. This allows mapping of one address space to another. Network in address space 1: 4.55.2 Network in address space 2: 7.2.73 Mapped space 2 under network space 1: 4.55.2.7.2.73
