China Deploys IPv9 Network
jeber writes "At the New Generation Internet Ten-Digit Network Industrialization & Development Seminar held on June 25th at Zhejiang University, it was announced that China's Internet technology, IPv9, had been formally adapted and popularized into the civil and commercial sectors.
Based on a ten-digit computing method, IPv9 has its own address protocol, nameplate protocol, transitional protocol, and digital domain name regulations and standards as stated by Mr. Xie Jianping, founder of the IPv9 protocol and leader of the Ten-Digit Network Technology Standard Team. Along with being compatible with IPv4 and IPv6, IPv9 can also realize logistic separations between them and safely control them. On small-scale trials in Shanghai's Changing and Jinshan Districts, IPv9 technology has proven stable and safe."
There is a 1994 RFC here: http://rfc.net/rfc1606.html. Everything else Google came up with was in Chinese and, thus, just as unusable!

...that goes to eleven!
Where can you go from 9? I want one that's at least one louder.
The only reason I can see is that the chinese
want to make the computers available to their population incompatible with the rest of the world on the Internet. Then they can filter/look into/controll al traffic at the gateways.
For the masses this may actually work. Competent indiciduals will still get through, but it weill require some effort.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
