Episode #210
IPv6-mostly is a foothold to get from your dual-stack network to a much more predominantly IPv6-run network, but the reality is that IPv6-mostly has a whole set of dependencies about the fact that IPv4 exists on the...
Episode #209
Ed and Nick explore why developers and SREs often become the bottleneck when transitioning to IPv6-only environments. They share practical strategies for bridging the communication gap between network and application...
Episode #208
Traditional IPAM and DDI tools struggle to handle IPv6 at scale because they were originally designed around IPv4. Today Ed and Tom examine the visibility challenges posed by SLAAC addresses, broken DNS integrations...
Episode #207
Is your current network monitoring infrastructure capable of seeing IPv6 traffic or are you flying blind in a dual-stack environment? Today Ed, Nick, and Tom explore the critical challenges surrounding IPv6 visibility...
Episode #206
Nick Burgalio and Tom Coffeen discuss a Reddit post that had what appeared to be new federal guidance on IPv6 adoption. While it seems the timelines and guidelines haven’t changed, the post raises questions about...
Episode #205
Franck Martin returns to the show to discuss the practical challenges of retiring IPv4 with hosts Ed, Nick, and Tom. Together they break down key strategies, how to work effectively with vendors, and how to mitigate...
Episode #204
Andrew Palardy joins the hosts to discuss how Tayga, the open-source NAT64 daemon for Linux, is being updated to ensure it is up to date with all the current RFCs. Andrew explains how recent RFC compliance and UDP...

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 necessities. They...
Episode #199
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 without the need...
Episode #198
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 permanent and temporary...
Episode #197
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 Customer-side...
Episode #196
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 provide services. That...
Episode #195
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 experiment...
Episode #194
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 needs. They also...
Episode #193
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 between IPv4 and IPv6...
Episode #192
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 down the...
Episode #191
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 RFC 6724? Ed Horley...
