'''1992. Second opportunity to fix addressing missed'''. In 1992 the [[Internet Architecture Board]] (IAB) produced a series of recommendations to resolve the scaling problems of the [[IPv4]]-based Internet: address space consumption and routing information explosion. Three types of solutions were proposed: introduce [[Classless Inter-Domain Routing]] (CIDR) to mitigate the problem, design the next version of IP (IPv7) based on [[CLNP]] (ConnectionLess Network Protocol) and continue the research into naming, addressing and routing.<ref>Internet Architecture Board. IP Version 7 ** DRAFT 8 **. Draft IAB IPversion7, july 1992</ref> CNLPCLNP was an OSI-based protocol that addressed nodes instead of interfaces, solving the old multi-homing problem introduced by the [[ARPANET]], and allowing for better routing information aggregation. CIDR was introduced but the [[IETF]] didn't accept an IPv7 based on CLNP. IAB reconsidered its decision and the IPng process started, culminating with [[IPv6]]. One of the rules for IPng was not to change the semantics of the IP address, which continues to name the interface, perpetuating the multi-homing problem.<ref name="IPv6"/>

There are still more wrong decisions{{According to whom|date=October 2015}} that have resulted in long-term problems for the current Internet, such as:
