Scott Hogg wrote up a great summary about the North American IPv6 Summit, hosted at LinkedIn in Sunnyvale, CA from April 25 to 26th. I don’t need to repeat any of the great work he did in documenting the event but instead wanted to focus on one presentation that was given by John Curran, the CEO of ARIN. While John was…
Last time around we reviewed some of the technical details behind the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery cache. This time we’ll look at how to observe the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery cache in operation. IPv6 was conceived and designed primarily to overcome IPv4’s limited total number of unique node addresses and the address exhaustion…
There have been many IPv6 conferences over the past 15 years, but this year’s North American IPv6 Summit was something special. There was much rejoicing over the growth in IPv6 usage and celebration of many successful IPv6 deployments. This article will share with you the history of the event and the organizers behind this…

Deciding to IPv6-enable Your Web Site There are many reasons why an organization would want to make their web site reachable over IPv6 transport.

He spoke to a team of experts on our technical advisory board on a variety of topics related to IPv6 trends and adoption and implications to enterprises in an emerging scenario of…
IT Nomenclature Nomenclature in computer and networking technologies can often be confusing and sometimes even funny. We IT people have crazy ways of naming things and we frequently use acronyms and initialisms (or alphabetisms) to describe multi-word concepts. Just in case you forgot the difference between these two…
I wrote in my 2017 predictions post that we would see early IPv6-only data center solutions this year. I wanted to dive a bit deeper into why this prediction is on my list and some of the rationale behind why this is starting to happen. The current state of affairs for IPv6 adoption is really focused on initial adoption…
In the first part of this blog series we covered the rationale behind why organizations may prefer to run a single-protocol IPv6-only core. However, service providers must continue to provide service to subscribers who have legacy IPv4-only devices. The second part of the blog delved into several ways ISPs can create an…
