> it’s in the most-significant place, meaning every new ipv40 IP is in a block that will be a black hole to any old routers, or they just forward it to the (wrong) address that you get from dropping the first octet.

Black hole for old routers. You run the software overlay until you can run the hardware.

I wrote a linux kernel module and an node/relay daemon that runs on every host.

There is a (0.)0.0.0.0 dedicated LAN space that auto-assign IPs. I called it the standard LAN party :) No more 10.0/192.168/etc Gateway always has .1 -- sensible defaults.

Also 0-255. Adds 255 IPv4 internets of address space. Billions and Billions of addresses are more than moar than enough.

Maybe one day I'll put on a fireproof suit and post it here for fun and see how much flame I get.
