Sometimes I do computer networking or security things. I like IPv6.

Added a host of new features to the IPv6 performance test site at www.ipv6.army
It now does an evaluation of IPv4 vs IPv6 and allows for browser locaStorage of results with trending over time. The description of tests should be quite comprehensive, as well, accounting for a bunch of nuance. #ipv6

Really looking forward to this event! #kubernetes #cilium #ipv6 #kubecon

Join ESnet's Kapil Agrawal at #CiliumCon to hear how his team built an IPv6-first #Kubernetes environment using #Cilium for networking.

Expect lessons learned on routing, scaling, and simplifying operations from deploying without IPv4.

Due to the recent potential removal of test-ipv6.com, ipv6.army now supports some similar IPv6 tests to determine compatibility and efficiency. #IPv6

The #IPv6 stats site is significantly more efficient now (and pulls from @cloudflare.social RADAR instead of the old source for CF data)

Happy to be involved with this one. Should also mention the speed with which this published. 14 months from a dinner conversation to a published document is pretty wild (12 months in data tracker time!) datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9872/
RFC 9872: Recommendations for Discovering IPv6 Prefix Used for IPv6 Address Synthesis
On networks providing IPv4-IPv6 translation (RFC 7915), hosts and other endpoints need to know the IPv6 prefix(es) used for translation (the NAT64 prefix (RFC 6052)). This document provides guidelines...

In the same vein as ipv6compatibility.com, I have used replit to create an aggregation service for global IPv6 statistics. The code is slightly modified to run stand-alone on my own hosting systems and is available on my github. It's still pretty beta, but it works reasonably well.

Created a high level, basic "get your #IPv6 address plan started" app to github. It's somewhat complimentary to ipv6utils.

We pushed out a new version of the #IPv6 textbook yesterday. This version expands on some sections and adds an ePub version for folks that want to use that format. It can be found as a free download here ipv6textbook.com

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
