Sounds good! But does it provide encryption tho?
IPv6 supports IPsec, but I think this proposal would be closer to Tor/I2P over IPv6.
For example, a client using an IPv6 ephemeral address, accessing a Tor hidden site, hosted on another client using an IPv6 ephemeral address, will both encrypt, and anonymize both endpoints, with a very short window for any de-anonymization attempts.
I2P will also scramble the whole connection over multiple circuits.
