	 <t>   This memo proposes an extension scheme for IPv4.  It can resolve the
   exhaustion of IPv4 addresses at an extremely low cost and enable
   external access to internal networks as convenient as internal access
   to external networks.  IPv4 adopts 32-bit fixed-length addresses, the
   problem of insufficient address space has long been prominent.  As a
   temporary solution, Network Address Translation (NAT) alleviates
   address scarcity to a certain extent, yet it breaks the end-to-end
   communication principle of the Internet.  It only allows intranet
   devices to actively access the extranet and fails to support direct
   access from the extranet to the intranet.  Although various solutions
   have been proposed in the industry, they all have inherent
   limitations.  This paper presents an innovative scheme named IP++
   based on multi-level variable-length addresses, which fundamentally
   solves the above problems and restores the IP protocol to the basic
   end-to-end principle.  The multi-level variable-length address
   structure of IP++ is highly compatible with the natural hierarchical
   topology of the Internet, featuring strong backward compatibility,
   convenient deployment and excellent usability.
