IPv6Planner - a basic IPv6 subnet planning tool

There are so many ways to create IPv6 Subnet plans. As discussed in IPv6 Buzz 180, an address plan is one of, if not the first step. Because getting started in the IPv6 subnet planning can be somewhat daunting, I wrote this go application to help bootstrap the process. This open source tool can be used along with the web version of ipv6utils, or the CLI tool. It’s not the Swiss army knife, but it’s enough to build a starting point.

IPB180 - IPv6 Basics - Deployment

There are many, many reasons, methods, and orders of operation when starting out in IPv6. In this episode of IPv6 Buzz, Tom and I continue our IPv6 Basics series discussing deployment. We’ll help you sort out why you should deploy IPv6, things to consider before starting a deployment, and what approach you should take such as “inside out” vs. “outside in” and when you should deploy IPv6. Lastly we explain why you should seek out some training for deploying IPv6.

IPB179 - IPv6 DNS Gotchas

In this episode of the IPv6 Buzz podcast, we dive straight in and talk about common misconceptions regarding DNS and IPv6. We’ve heard these often enough that we felt we should talk through each one. We cover issues including what kind of DNS record types can be returned via IPv6 (and IPv4, too), more details on what really goes on with Happy Eyeballs, and combining A/AAAA records types and security protocols like DoT/DoH/DoQ.
