I looked into some people that I know who currently operate real-life space networks: The sentiment I'm getting is: This is serious; it's not a joke, and we/they want IPv6 for space to be properly subnet modelled, with no IPv4 psychosis or, what I personally dislike even more, /48 psychosis in the DFZ table. Has anyone looked at /48's growth lately? Yeah, not pleasant. I do not want that in that space.
It's unclear which real-life space network operator(s) are treating this as a joke or prank; perhaps Fernando Frediani has industry insights that we are unaware of. I, for one, am not known for having a sense of humour in a professional setting. Work is work, engineering is engineering, and we must evaluate and assess data, facts, figures and peer reviews. *--* Best Regards Daryll Swer Website: daryllswer.com <https://l.shortlink.es/l/5c534d492ecd030217c5e35e643b3493eb6e10a8?u=2153471> On Fri, 20 Feb 2026 at 22:11, Tony Li <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Fernando, > > > That's my point.
