Show HN: We Implemented the IPv8 Internet-Draft in Linux, Libc, and BGP

A team implemented the IPv8 Internet-Draft specification across Linux, Musl Libc, and BGP to test its viability, creating a complete stack including kernel modifications, networking tools, and a Zone Server platform with bundled services like DHCP8, DNS8, and OAuth2 authentication. In isolated lab testing with a 10-node multi-AS testbed, the protocol functioned smoothly, with HTTP requests succeeding across autonomous systems and DHCP8 leases provisioning correctly. The article hints at significant challenges when deploying this experimental protocol in real-world conditions, though specific failures are not detailed in the provided excerpt.
