Pedro, Thanks for your email and BTW the usual format is a submitted IETF draft as pointed to by Alvaro (see https://authors.ietf.org).
I quickly browsed through your text and the big question is of course the scalability of your proposal: an Internet router cannot really flood unknown destination packets on all its interfaces (as opposed to a layer-2 switch that has usually less than 200 layer-2 neighbors). I am afraid that as long as your proposal does not scale, it will never progress at the IETF.

For context for everyone else, I’m repeating here part of what I send in response to your message to the IAB: ===== ... In any case, proposals for changes should be sent to an IETF working group (not the IAB). In this case, because the proposal includes changes to addressing and routing, you may want to consider engaging with the Routing Area WG [1] or the Internet Area WG [2]. In either case, please use the Internet-Draft format for a submission [3]. Thanks! Alvaro. [1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/rtgwg/about/ [2] https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/intarea/about/ [3] https://authors.ietf.org/ ===== To be clear. For a proposal to be considered a contribution to the IETF and be discussed, it should be submitted in the Internet-draft format and not as a PDF. Look at link [3] above. That site contains an overview of the process and detailed instructions on how to write and submit an ID (search for "Getting started”). Alvaro.

I apologize if you find the details to be very basic, but my intent is simply to make it clear that it works perfectly. I have an Initial Internet Draft that proposes a new addressing scheme using an encrypted IP with ECDH, called IPy, to make it impossible to track and block a particular server using its IP address. The 128-bit encrypted address makes it computationally impossible for any router to identify the sender and receiver of the packet. Given that this is a current issue, with governments blocking important companies like Google, WhatsApp, and ChatGPT, I hope it piques your curiosity. The algorithm is simple but requires greater computational power from network cards, which, instead of just reading the IP to identify if it is theirs, must decrypt the IPy address.
