  • Laser focus on IPv6 with a strong practical implementation advice

    IPv6 Buzz is a great way to both learn about the protocol and implementation options and understand the current state of the market. While the protocol has been available for decades we seem to be close to the tipping point where much wider implementations become universal. The future for IPv6 is here, but not evenly distributed. Some market deployments have been growing fast and others continue to hold back. The show topics are diverse and cover a wide range. Episode titles and descriptions ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IPB199: Developing IPv6-Friendly Code
Q: What subtle differences should developers account for when writing networked applications for IPv6?
Developers should support multiple address families, avoid hard-coding IP literals, consider host-name inputs, and design inputs to be future-proof for address-family evolution, as well as anticipate containerized or orchestration environments that may not behave the same in IPv6-only contexts.
IPB190: IPv6 in Kubernetes Deployments
Q: What recommendations or guidance would you give about using IPv6 with Kubernetes?
Look at the restrictions of your distribution and deploy in a dual stack fashion while providing a large block of IPv6 addresses to the nodes.
IPB190: IPv6 in Kubernetes Deployments
Q: Is IPv6 able to be instantiated after the cluster already exists?
It is an installation option and not typically possible to enable after the initial deployment.
IPB190: IPv6 in Kubernetes Deployments
Q: How much IPv6 is deployed in the Kubernetes space today?
Around 10% of deployments of Kubernetes clusters consume IPv6 in production.
IPB181: Answering Your IPv6 Questions
Q: What should I consider when moving everything over to IPv6 for email services?
It's safe to move email services to IPv6, especially since the reputation and geolocation data for IPv6 has improved significantly.
