IPB202: How to Get Hands-On IPv6 Deployment Experience
You can learn a lot about IPv6 from books, videos, and podcasts (such as this one), but it’s hard to beat hands-on experience. John Osmon joins our hosts to discuss how to set up your own IPv6…
IPB201: The Never-Ending Prefix Debate: Revisiting Best Current Practices
Today’s conversation centers around a new Best Current Practices (BCP) RFC draft written by Jordi Palet Martinez. Our hosts explore the document for service providers and enterprises, including…
IPB200: Yes, IPv6 Is Complicated. IPv8 Won’t Help
Why is IPv6 so much more complicated than IPv4? Could a newer version such as IPv8 be the solution? Guest Brian Carpenter joins our hosts to explain that many of IPv6’s complications are mathematical…
IPB199: Developing IPv6-Friendly Code
Tom Coffeen and Nick Buraglio welcome Chris Cummings to talk about developing code for IPv6. Chris argues that moving to IPv6 restores end-to-end connectivity, which reduces complexity for developers…
IPB198: IPv6 Privacy and Temporary Addresses
Today our hosts discuss IPv6 Privacy and Temporary Addresses to clarify how address provisioning can potentially work for host operating systems. The discussion covers the difference between…
IPB197: SLAAC and the End of DHCP?
Today our hosts discuss the essential role of Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) in successfully deploying an IPv6-mostly network. SLAAC is required to assign a unique IPv6 address to the…
IPB196: Is End-to-End Connectivity the Right Goal?
One of the early design principles of the Internet was end-to-end connectivity: that is, every device on the Internet would be publicly addressable, and every device could share its resources or…
IPB195: Start Network Automation with IPv6!
If you’re looking for a network automation project but you’re worried about breaking stuff, why not build your automation adventure around IPv6? If your production traffic runs on IPv4, you can…
IPB194: Navel Gazing at NAT in IPv6
Ed, Nick, and Tom discuss the need for Network Address Translation v6 to v6 (NAT66). While Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) exists, its limitations make it insufficient for real-world business…
IPB193: IPv6 Basics – Troubleshooting
Are you struggling to get IPv6 working, whether in a lab or even a pilot deployment? Ed, Nick, and Tom walk through the essentials of IPv6 troubleshooting, revealing the non-negotiable differences…
IPB192: IPv6 Lab Update
Thinking of setting up an IPv6 lab this year? Our hosts dive into a major update on building and testing modern IPv6 networks, focusing on the game-changing “IPv6-mostly” architecture. They break…
IPB191: IPv6 Predictions for 2026
Will Microsoft’s CLAT bring widespread adoption rates for IPv6? Will there be significant advancements in corporate and cloud adoption as well? Will this finally be the year we see the fix for the…
IPB190: IPv6 in Kubernetes Deployments
Kubernetes is a popular container orchestration platform. Today’s IPv6 Buzz episode explores the benefits of using IPv6 in Kubernetes, and how Kubernetes uses IP addresses in both the control plane…
IPB189: RFC 9898 – Neighbor Discovery Considerations in IPv6 Deployments
The newly published RFC 9898 is the discussion of today’s podcast. The IPv6 Buzz crew explore the complexities of neighbor discovery and review solutions for both operators and architects. They share…
IPB188: IPv6 Adoption for an Entire Country
What does it take for an entire country to adopt IPv6? Our guest today is Tenanoia (Noia) Simona, CEO of Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation, the country’s sole telecommunications provider. She’s…
IPB187: IPv6 RFC Updates
Today the IPv6 Buzz crew provides updates on the latest in IPv6 standards, RFCs, and best practices. They break down the recent discussions around RFC 6052, explore the options for RFC 8215, and…
IPB186: An Inside Look at RFC 9872 for Discovering v6 Prefixes
RFC 9872 makes recommendations for NAT64 prefix discovery for hosts supporting v4-to-v6 translation. Co-host Nick Buralgio is a co-author of this RFC, so we’re taking the opportunity to talk about it…
IPB185: When IPv6 VPN and DNS Don’t Cooperate
Sometimes weirdness occurs within DNS if you’re on an IPv4 network and you connect to a dual-stack or v6-only VPN. Maybe the browser doesn’t connect, but you can still send pings, or vice versa. Is…
IPB184: IPv6 Basics: Dual-Stack
We’re diving into another IPv6 Basics today with the topic of dual-stack, which means running the IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks simultaneously. We get many questions about the implications of running…
IPB183: Measuring IPv6 and IPv6 Statistics
Today we talk about measuring IPv6 and IPv6 statistics. We talk about why it’s useful to measure IPv6, how to track v6 deployment initiatives, and tools to help with your measurements. Episode Links:…
