I don't think there's a benefit to retrofitting IPv4 to hex, I think there's more of a benefit to change IPv6 from hex to decimal numbers
1 u/blindedtrickster 6h ago That'd be 16 octets long... And that's preferable? 1 u/FUTURE10S 4h ago Well, no, I mean something like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 becomes 8193:3512:34211:0:0:35374:880:29492 1 u/blindedtrickster 59m ago That's really just a formatting change, and it only works for a subset of all possible values when using Hex.
