Hi,

a german computer magazine reported that China
is developing their own IP address scheme as
IPv9 ( http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/48859 )
in order to improve "security" (probably spelled: censorship).
They cite

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2004-07/05/content_1572719.htm

It is to be used inside China, and they will have routers
as gateways to ipv4 and ipv6 and the borders of China
(obviously not letting everything pass through).

Does anyone know details about this protocol?

What's the IETF's opinion (if IETF does have anything like an 
IETF's opinion) about such an effort?

regards
Hadmut
