    abstract =  {This document describes a solution to the Internet address depletion issue through the use of an existing Option mechanism that is part of the original IPv4 protocol. This proposal, named EzIP (phonetic for Easy IPv4), outlines the IPv4 public address pool expansion and the Internet system architecture enhancement considerations. The EzIP may expand an IPv4 address by a factor of 256M without affecting the existing IPv4 based Internet, nor the current private networks. The EzIP is in full conformance with the IPv4 protocol, and supports not only both direct and private network connectivities, but also their interoperability. The EzIP deployment may coexist with the current Internet traffic and the IoT (Internet of Things) operations without perturbing their setups, while offering end-users the freedom to choose either. If the IPv4 public pool allocations were allowed to be reorganized, the assignable pool could be multiplied by 512M times or even more. The EzIP may be implemented as a software / firmware enhancement to the Internet edge routers or private network routing gateways wherever needed, or simply installed as an inline adjunct hardware module between the two, enabling a seamless introduction. The 256M case detailed herein establishes a complete sphere of routers for interfacing between the Internet core fabic and the end user premises. Incorporating the caching proxy technology in the gateway, a fairly large geographical area may enjoy an EzIP based sub-Internet operating from as few as one ordinary IPv4 public address. This will immediately resolve the IPv4 address shortage anywhere, while transparent to the current Internet operation. Under the Dual-Stack environment, these proposed interim facilities will relieve the IPv4 address shortage issue, while affording the IPv6 more time to orderly reach the maturity and the availability levels required for delivering a long-term general service.},
