On today's IPv6 Buzz podcast we explore the topic of using IPv6 networks to provide IPv4 as a Service (IPv4aaS). Enterprises may become more interested in IPv4aaS as they connect disparate services in their environments. We discuss how IPv4aaS works, and enterprise and service provider use cases. The post IPv6 Buzz 122: Using IPv6 Networks For IPv4 As A Service appeared first on Packet Pushers.

Today's IPv6 Buzz podcast explore the topic of default address selection with IPv6 hosts as defined in RFC 6724. It's very common for a host to have multiple IPv6 addresses of different types (as well as an IPv4 address in dual-stack environments) and RFC 6724 includes rules for which addresses are used first.

Today's podcast episode revisits the subject of IPv6 address allocation along with how changes in network planning and Regional Internet Registry (RIR) policy are influencing allocation size requests. We also look at how network trends around IoT, cloud, and SD-WAN might affect allocation size and how to overcome "IPv4 thinking."

In today's IPv6 Buzz podcast we discuss IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and some of the operational issues that can happen when configuring and operating IPv6, and what can help listeners understand and resolve those issues.

In today's IPv6 Buzz podcast, Ed, Scott, and Tom speak with Jad El Cham about the RIPE NCC IPv6 training program as well as RIPE NCC's role as the European and Middle Eastern Regional Internet Registry providing Internet resources including IPv6 addresses.

The IPv6 Buzz podcast talks with Richard Hicks about Microsoft's OS changes and use cases for IPv6. Richard is a technology consultant and author. We discuss which Microsoft solutions use IPv6, what its v6 strategy changed, and more. The post IPv6 Buzz 117: Microsoft’s OS Evolution With IPv6 appeared first on Packet Pushers.

In today's IPv6 Buzz episode, Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about the good, bad, and ugly of vendor support for IPv6-only. While some vendors support dual-stack deployments, things get a little more precarious when you want to turn off IPv4 entirely. The post IPv6 Buzz 116: Hey Vendors! What About IPv6-Only? appeared first on Packet Pushers.

In this episode, Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about DNS and IPv6. We cover legacy IPv6 brokeness and DNS, how DNS performs over v6, and how DNS works with v6-only networks. The post IPv6 Buzz 115: DNS And IPv6 appeared first on Packet Pushers.

Today's IPv6 Buzz episode answers listener questions about Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) and auto-addressing, privacy and IPv6, and where NAT46 fits in. The post IPv6 Buzz 114: Another Listener Questions Episode! appeared first on Packet Pushers.

In this episode of IPv6 Buzz, Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about our DAD issues — well, our IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) issues anyway. DAD is a feature of IPv6 that looks for duplicate IP addresses among hosts on the same segment. We discuss how it works and operational considerations. The post IPv6 Buzz 113: We Have DAD Issues (Duplicate Address Detection) appeared first on Packet Pushers.

In this episode of IPv6 Buzz, Ed, Scott, and Tom speak with XiPeng Xiao, the new chair of the IETF v6ops working group. We discuss the lastest work in IPv6 at the IETF, whether the IETF should have a role in promoting v6 in the enterprise, and more. The post IPv6 Buzz 112: What’s New With IPv6 At The IETF? appeared first on Packet Pushers.

What's the state of IPv6 in the public cloud? What support is available in which of the major providers? What are the cloud challenges of v6? How does v6 affect multi-cloud architectures? The latest episode of the IPv6 Buzz podcast examines these and other v6 questions for public cloud. The post IPv6 Buzz 111: IPv6 And The Public Cloud appeared first on Packet Pushers.

On today's IPv6 Buzz podcast we explore DHCPv6 Option 108. Option 108 basically allows a DHCP server to use IPv4 to contact a host and tell that host to disable its IPv4 stack and switch to IPv6-only. In other words, you're using IPv4 to turn off IPv4. We examine the use cases for this peculiar capability. The post IPv6 Buzz 110: The Peculiar Power Of DHCPv6 Option 108 appeared first on Packet Pushers.

In this episode of the IPv6 Buzz podcast, Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about microsegmentation with IPv6 and what the IT use cases look like. The post IPv6 Buzz 109: Microsegmentation With IPv6 appeared first on Packet Pushers.

In this IPv6 Buzz episode, we with George Michaelson of APNIC about IPv6 in the Asia Pacific region (and beyond). Topics include how mobile drives IPv6, regional variations in adoption, and what's going on with IPv6 in China.

In this episode, Ed and Tom talk with Nick Buraglio about ongoing efforts within the IETF to improve ULA.
