I have workloads that need 32T of enterprise nvme that I run on a machine in my garage.

How much for a VPS that supports bandwidth to access those 32T data frequently?

Sometimes you don't have to access those 32TB data in raw. You often need only the processed data, which can be magnitudes smaller.

Your local machine holds and processes the raw data, while your VPS forwards the much smaller processed data to the Internet.

If you read page 9, phase 1 mentions "update all backbone routers and border routers." This is the same problem as IPv6.

The effort is a bit smaller because existing stacks can already read what's in the EIP part as it disguises itself as an option header. The change is behavioral not structural. Also with the extra octet added we'd get ~254 current-IPv4-sized clusters of addresses. If a unit inside one of these doesn't really care about the others they can skip supplying this information entirely, i.e. not all participants need to und…

No, sorry. Very few switches and not all routers do that in software. If all that is in an ASIC then that part just can't be added to the address without new hardware.

So no, good attempt but it's pretty much still a 'upgrade all the routers and switches' kind of issue just like IPv6.
