I feel like I need more training for IPv6. For a long time, I've thought that it was a simple thing to enable and allow (and often our servers are dual stack). It turns out, though, that unless you really know what you're doing on the server side (i.e. overriding the horrible defaults for IPv6 resource allocation), you can end up with an inexplicably slow server that spits out bizarre errors.
Anyone here have any recommendations on a book, course, etc. that covers IPv6 readiness?

- rmrfrmrf 9y agoFor example, in Debian 7, routes.max_size is dynamically allocated for ipv4 and hard-coded to 4096 for ipv6. I eventually figured it out after searching for a while, but that's not something I'd expect to have to do (having been used to ipv4 working decently out of the box).
