<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>
Join me as we probe without further delay the secrets of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery cache. I’m sure we'll find our goal of better managing IPv6 eminently reachable without incomplete knowledge or stale writing! Lately, I’ve been revisiting Jeff Doyle’s classic Routing TCP/IP volumes and they are as great as I remember…
I admit that being an IPv6 advocate for as long as I have been can cause some self-doubt and loathing at times. IPv6 has had a longer ramp-up than expected and us IPv6 advocates have often been frustrated by the pace of adoption. The good news for me was that 2016 was a really great year for IPv6. You can check out my end…
Did you miss the “Ask Me Anything” session about IPv6 on Jan. 10th with our panel of experts? Don’t worry, we will recap the important takeaways for you. If you are an enterprise and have not answered the questions below, you have already fallen behind. * How are you managing the IPv6 that is already running on your…
Methods of servicing legacy IPv4-only nodes with an IPv6-only core In the first part of this 3-part blog series, we discussed how IPv4 will soon become a legacy protocol. In a few years, IPv6 Internet traffic volumes will surpass IPv4 Internet traffic volumes. We also explored the motivation for service providers to build…
IPv6-Capable Cloud Infrastructure Services The adoption of IPv6 has been increasing, but there have been a few areas where IPv6 has had difficulty gaining traction. One area where IPv6 hasn’t been widely implemented is within corporate enterprise internal networks and another is within Cloud Service Provider (CSP)…

At some point in your IPv6 journey you start to talk with other adopters and discovery some shared truths. There are many, but you will find that one of them is that dual-stack has its challenges. You will hear myself and others say at conferences, technical talks and in blog posts and articles that dual-stack is the…
Keeping the legacy Internet Protocol working over an IPv6 backbone Declaring IPv6 a Standard and Declaring IPv4 Historic 2016 has witnessed IPv6 adoption continuing at an amazing rate. Even though IPv6 adoption has been doubling every year for the past few years, IPv4 usage continues to rise as well. However, at some point…
We Only Know What We Can Measure It should be a widely recognized rule at this point to completely disregard any IPv6 adoption prediction made by an IPv6 evangelist (especially this author). For that matter, trying to predict the future of rapid innovations in network technology can often be like grasping at straws.…
Introduction In the last installment of this blog, we looked at a number of websites providing an assortment of useful statistics demonstrating overall levels of IPv6 adoption (up and to the right!). This time around, we'll examine IPv6 websites providing an assortment of useful information -- including both equipment…
