<p>Welcome to the Infoblox IPv6 COE Blog. The IPv6 Center of Excellence (COE) is a dedicated effort by Infoblox to evangelize the benefits of IPv6 and contribute to its widespread adoption. Our Chief DNS Architect, Cricket Liu, runs the COE along with a selected set of board members. Here you find articles by our COE leadership team and podcasts that are technical.</p>
I had the privilege of presenting at the BT Centre in London at the Annual UK IPv6 Council meeting this week to talk about better operational outcomes through network design. The goal of my presentation was to start a conversation in the community around what operators need in terms of IPv6 network architecture and design…
Imagine yourself in a future world where networked technology is fully integrated into our daily lives and self-driving cars are commonplace. Most networks are wireless and almost all enterprise corporate applications are cloud-based. IPv6 is now widely deployed across the Internet and in private networks, yet there are…
Time for another IPv6 podcast! This time around myself and our esteemed TAB members Ed Horley and Scott Hogg discuss Carrier Grade Nat also known as CGN (or sometimes Large Scale NAT or LSN). This is the technology that allows ISPs to extend the life of IPv4 by using NAT to allow many thousands of their subscribers…
Picking up from part 1 of the back to basics, let’s jump into the multicast address type and why it is important to IPv6. As a quick review, the goal of our “back to IPv6 basics” series is to provide a bit more detail on the three main address types in IPv6. They are: * Unicast * Multicast * Anycast Network operators often…
Determining where you are using IPv6 Human nature makes us curious to know where we are located within the World Wide Web. We are also curious about where within the global Internet the person we are communicating is connected. We could use this information to make security decisions to allow or block connections. When it…
Welcome back! Last time we looked at a bit of the general history of IP auto addressing and how that led to IPv6 SLAAC. We then examined how SLAAC works with a simple example that included an IPv6 router and IPv6 node. So now that we know the basics of how SLAAC works, how do we configure it? From our example we know that…
One of the common questions that often gets askes shortly after some introductory IPv6 training is “Where do I start deploying?” In the early years of IPv6’s adoption there were debates about how IPv6 should be deployed in enterprise networks. Should organizations start to deploy IPv6 at the core and then work their way…
I'm very excited to present the fourth episode of the Infoblox IPv6 Center of Excellence podcast, featuring our regular contributors and TAB members Scott Hogg and Ed Horley, who bring to bear their usual deep knowledge of, and experience with, everything IPv6. This time around we were also joined by the esteemed Cricket…
A Brief History of Life, the Universe, and Network Auto-addressing In keeping with our recent theme of covering topics for IPv6 beginners, this blog will cover the basics of IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration – more commonly referred to as SLAAC (defined in RFC 4862). What SLAAC stands for pretty much tells us in the…
It is human nature to be curious about where you stand in relation to others. For example, organizations can be competitive and thus interested in making comparisons between their organization and others in their shared market segment. People also want to be individuals and stand out in a crowd (even at the risk of…
