Enhanced IP: IPv4 with 64-Bit Addresses.

Enhanced IP (EnIP) offers a solution to the problem of IPv4 address depletion without replacing IPv4, as IPv6 does, but by building on top of IPv4, maximizing backward compatibility. An experimental EnIP deployment between nodes at the University of Maryland and the University of Delaware, requiring...

Description
Summary:Enhanced IP (EnIP) offers a solution to the problem of IPv4 address depletion without replacing IPv4, as IPv6 does, but by building on top of IPv4, maximizing backward compatibility. An experimental EnIP deployment between nodes at the University of Maryland and the University of Delaware, requiring neither software modification nor modification of in-path routers, demonstrates EnIP's potential.
