31 May 2011

I was recently in Sunnyvale at Juniper HQ to record an interview for an IPv6 focused episode of Junos Connect (more on that laterhere). While there, Dan Backman and I recorded a couple of podcasts for distribution within Juniper. They’re not too overly boring so I figured I’d post them up here in case folks [...]

Day One: Advanced IPv6 Configuration

27 April 2011
book cover

Day One: Advanced IPv6 Configuration is a sequel to my first book, Day One: Exploring IPv6, and picks up right where it left off. Namely with BGP. In addition to a fairly thorough look at BGP (iBGP and eBGP / native IPv6 peering and sharing IPv6 routes over IPv4 peering), the book jumps into a few of the additional and often overlooked aspects of deploying an IPv6 network. This includes a look into topics and tools including VRRP, ICMPv6 rate limiting, CoS, IPv6 path MTU discovery, DHCPv6, zero hop-limit, Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) and Duplicate Address Detection (DAD).

Brain Vomit

19 April 2011

A quick search of the interwebs shows that I m not the first person to coin this phrase Brain Vomit, but I think it does capture my blog-writing style quite well. My blog writing style; it’s like puking on a canvas and then painting with it. You have little control over vomit, mostly it just [...]

ICANN Community Briefing on IPv6

4 March 2011

I just sat in on a call/talk/presentation by Leo Vegoda (the guy who operates the IANA for ICANN) on IPv6. Overall, it was a great primer on IPv6, the exhaustion of IPv4 and the future of Internet addressing. One idea that I would especially like to echo here is his suggestion for everyone to send [...]

NAT444 (CGN/LSN) and What it Breaks

14 February 2011

Before we look at what breaks, I should probably make sure that you know what it is that I’m talking about here. If you already know all about traditional NAT and address overloading, skip to the NAT444 section. If you are familiar with that as well, feel free to skip right to the list of [...]
