Deployability of ILNP at Global Scale (DIGS)    

• IETF123/Madrid (2025-05-30)

  Come and say, "Hello", to us at IETF123/Madrid!. We will be at the Hackathon, and will have a demonstration set up throughout the week.

• DIGS project announced by ICANN (2025-05-29).

  ICANN has announced the recipients of funding in the first round of the ICANN Grant Program, here.

Overview

We will deliver dynamic multihoming for IPv6 end-systems with existing APIs and applications, without requiring updates to any infrastructure or routing protocols, or use of tunnels or proxies. Using ILNP, and building on IPv6 and DNS, we will demonstrate global connectivity on 6 continents. An implementation in FreeBSD will be made publicly available for commercial actors as well as the opensource community. Multipath transport and user privacy will be comprehensively demonstrated for TCP, UDP, and QUIC.
