<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>
To celebrate the release of RFC 8200 which standardizes IPv6 I thought it would be appropriate to do some “back to the basics” IPv6 blog posts. The goal is to help those who might not have gotten on the bandwagon early with IPv6 adoption as well as to provide an easy-to-read refresher for those of us who have been doing…
In a recent article, I wrote about some of the common questions that IPv6 novices sometimes ask. We then asked the question, “What are the typical questions you get when teaching an IPv6 class?” Frequently, IPv6 instructors field questions from their students about IPv6 link-local addresses and how they work. This article…
From our release notes, here's a quick run-down of some recent IPv6 features in NIOS (as of 8.1.1): Support for IPv6 NXDOMAIN Redirection NIOS now supports IPv6 NXDOMAIN redirection. You can create rules that specify how a DNS member responds to queries for A and AAAA records for certain domain names and non-existent…
Welcome to part 2 of my blog on the top 10 IPv6 RFCs! Part 1 covered the first 5 while this time around we’ll discuss 6-10 of the most essential IPv6 RFCs. If you need a refresher on why IETF RFCs are important (or just want to know what the heck an RFC is!), be sure to check out part 1. So without further ado, here they…
Part 1: Top IPv6 RFCs 1-5 (Part 2 will be published later and contain Top IPv6 RFCs 6-10) Introduction In the middle of the last century, the existentialist philosopher and author Albert Camus famously wrote: “I sometimes think of what future historians will say of us. A single sentence will suffice for modern man: he ...…
Even though IPv6 has been around since the late 1990s and is now actively used on the Internet, I still meet people who are just beginning to learn about IPv6. We in the Infoblox IPv6 Center of Excellence (COE) have been teaching IPv6 for well over a decade. Recently at Cisco Live, Ed Horley and I, along with our friends…
There are moments one can point to in the evolution of technology standards that help to drive adoption of that technology, to create innovation, and obviously to coalesce industry around a common standard to make interoperability and collaboration better for all of its users. There are also times when standards groups…
Hi All - it is our pleasure to give you the archive of our second-ever Infoblox IPv6 CoE podcast featuring: * Ed Horley, Vice President of Engineering at Groupware Technology and IPv6 Practice Lead * Scott Hogg, CTO Global Technology Resources, Inc. * Tom Coffeen, Chief IPv6 Evangelist and Distinguished Architect at…
Imagine what it was like to be an ancient mariner navigating the ocean blue at night using nothing more than stars, a sextant and a marine chronometer. Thankfully, navigating the Internet is not as daunting. The method that networked devices use to find their way around the digital ocean is the Domain Name System (DNS),…
I’m very pleased to let our readers know about a recent white paper we produced in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire. The title of the white paper is Assigning and Managing IPv6 Addresses in Higher Education Environments and it’s available here. As the paper relates, the University of New Hampshire (UNH)…
