IPv6 Buzz 019: IPv6 And Broadband Internet Cable Providers

Posted on February 7, 2019 by RMM1

IPv6 And Broadband Internet Cable ProvidersIn the latest episode of IPv6 Buzz we examine IPv6 deployment among cable providers. We’ll discuss industry trends, dual-stack deployments, and how the cable industry is working to transition IPv4 out of the providers’ access and distribution networks.

Topics include:

  • The status of IPv6 deployment among cable providers
  • Why an IPv6-only network with IPv4 running as a service (IPv4aaS) is desirable for cable provider networks
  • What prevents some cable providers from adopting IPv6
  • The DOCSIS standard and why it’s important for IPv6
  • Why a /56 IPv6 prefix is likely the best minimum size for home networks

Our guest is Dan Torbet, Director of Systems Engineering at ARRIS. He’s worked in the cable/MSO Internet industry for over 25 years.

Dan was an active participant in industry efforts around DOCSIS 3.0 and Modular CMTS specifications and has been a long time advocate of IPv6 adoption including as a very active Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force member and volunteer.

Thanks for listening!

IPv6 Buzz 018: Inside The IETF With Fred Baker

Posted on January 24, 2019 by RMM1

Inside the IETF with Fred BakerIn this episode we examine the influence of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in today’s technology landscape, particularly around the Internet Protocol (IP).

Our guest Fred Baker is chair emeritus of the IETF.

As a 30-year veteran of the organization, his tenure has included authorship of more than 50 RFCs (many of them around IPv6) as well as serving as chair of the IPv6 Operations Working Group.

Topics include:

  • Is the IETF still important?
  • Emerging technologies such as segment routing
  • Why the Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6) emerged as the dominant routed protocol in the early 1990s (and why it was necessary to develop IPv6 in the first place)
  • How one enterprise would have had to spend $25 million for IPv4 versus $2,100 for IPv6
  • Which IETF IPv6 Working Group should enterprise network operators pay attention to

Thanks for listening!

Why Is Microsoft Internal IT Moving to IPv6-Only?

Posted on April 26, 2017 by George Usi

Take a look at Veronika McKillop’s slide to help us understand why her teams at Microsoft are moving to IPv6 Only networks for Internal IT use.

IMG_3497

Microsoft currently has two test IPv6-Only networks in Redmond, WA and also recognized that IPv6 adoption will be supported because of the well known “Microsoft effect” which posits that 85% of global laptop/desktops are windows based IPv6 capable coupled with the fact that millions of devices (ie: servers, Xbox, tables, HoloLens) are designed for IPv6 networks.

John Curran NAv6tf Presentation

Posted on April 25, 2017 by George Usi

John Curran’s presentations are always lively, educational and wholly interactive (especially during Q&A).  Today’s presentation at LinkedIn’s Sunnyvale Headquarters was no exception to the rule as John focused on how to build a better IPv6 internet that users will actually be interested in using.  He also reviewed challenges associated with enterprise IPv6 adoption delays.

IPv6_NA_CONF_2017_web_090

His first point discussed ideas on changing the fundamentals of network governance in IPv6 and how it could virtually eliminate botnets, spam, and general NAT headaches.  Notably, those changes and choices would also eliminate a lion-share of demand and spending for boundary security solutions used by many enterprises today.

Moreover, he posited that when considering the end-user perspective on today’s Internet that, “It does not matter what you do [as engineers], the average internet user still sees the same thing when they login [and it’s not the network engineer’s work that moves them].”

He continued by pointing to the attendees in the room reminding us of our accountability and that we, “…are the ones building a new internet on IPv6 yet running it the same way that we ran the IPv4 Internet.”  True, many network engineers, especially in enterprises, are seasoned with v4 habits such as straining to conserve IP addresses.  As such, we run the risk of doing too much subnet-ing with IPv6 resulting in a loss of operational visibility by breaking the rules of nibble boundaries.  Considering most assignment blocks will be assigned as a /32 or /44 with plenty of address space to spare, we really have no excuse to do things incorrectly.

From our perspective, this just proves that we still have a heck a lot of work to do educating network engineers if IPv6 adoption is going to happen at the enterprise level.

Happy New Year 2017

Posted on January 17, 2017 by Stan Barber

On behalf of the board of TXv6TF, I want to wish everyone a happy, safe and productive 2017. So much has happened in the IPv6 world since our first meeting in 2009. In the US, IPv6 deployments continue to accelerate as organizations refresh their networks and Service Providers improve their service offerings.

This is happening around the world as well at different rates (some faster than the US, some slower). Today, I can use resources that run totally over IPv6, some are mixed and a shrinking few are still IPv4 only. I hope to see that last group fade quickly as the days pass.

As for the plans for 2017, watch this space!
