Reducing Internet address waste: The IPv4 unicast extensions project

This talk is titled "Reducing Internet address waste: The IPv4 unicast extensions project," and was presented at LibrePlanet 2022 by Seth Schoen.

Seth is a consultant living in San Francisco and helped develop the Let's Encrypt certificate authority.

This talk is about the IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project, which is proposing software and standards changes to eventually make reserved addresses usable. Some of our changes have been accepted in systems, including GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. This presentation will describe what has been done and what still needs to happen.

LibrePlanet is the Free Software Foundation's annual conference. The FSF campaigns for free/libre software, meaning it respects users' freedom and community. We believe that users are entitled to this; all software should be free.

We do not advocate "open source".

That term was coined to reject our views. It refers to similar practices, but usually presented solely as advantageous, without talking of right and wrong.

Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 by announcing development of the free operating system, GNU. By 1992, GNU was nearly operational; one major essential component was lacking, the kernel.

In 1992, Torvalds freed the kernel Linux, which filled the last gap in GNU. Since then, the combined GNU/Linux system has run in millions of computers. Nowadays you can buy a new computer with a totally free GNU/Linux system preinstalled.

The views of the speaker may not represent the Free Software Foundation. The Foundation supports the free software cause and freedom to share, and basic freedoms in the digital domain, but has no position on other political issues.
