Bad Hosts

2022-02-16 17:43:09.625847+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Interesting: Robin Sload: Bad Hosts. Some interesting looks at IPv6 and technologies which might help get past the centralization of the Internet.

I have no great conclusion to offer, and I’m sure most of this is old news to those of you who have tangled with peer-to-peer protocols before. I guess the surprise, for me — the thing I felt an urge to share — was the realization that at least some of this tendency towards centralization is inherent in the present architecture of the internet itself. The trapdoor of IPv4 exhaustion delivered us to this place, stuck behind NAT, pounding on the door. It’s a huge bummer!
