I'd highly suggest you follow the NANOG BCOP. There's a site for it: http://nabcop.org/index.php/IPv6_Subnetting Here's where I got the idea of using fe80::1 everywhere for the link-local gateway: https

Actually, ipv6 takes less implementation work from a network operations standpoint. Every site gets a fixed size network, every building gets a fixed size network, every vlan gets a fixed size network. No more IP budgeting and wrangling n

I'll bite. How can you have more than one "default" route without PBR on the host? That's breaking the meaning of default. Why does link local need to be complicated? Router interfaces facing clients should be fe80::1. T

Seconded. IPv6 brings a lot of nice things that we never would have had in an IPv4 based or extended world. Router fragmentation? Gone! Simple subnetting? Hello ipv6! DHCP? Gone (mostly)! Link local addresses? Got em! These are all positive

And hardware had problems with 32 bit ASNs even up to a year ago. Inline flow generation was broken on Juniper and Cisco stuff for a while.

by scurvy 11y ago
Yeah, I was only looking at it from a router's perspective. Router's don't care much about the host stuff, and really, anything between a 64 or 128.

My phone with 3.5mm jack is completely waterproof. Why can't Apple do the same?

People are just going to turn on the speaker and listen to their music and conversations aloud. If Apple really cared, they would remove the external speaker in their phones and just have a simple ringer. </oldduderant>

I don't understand why the author says server-side load balancing is expensive or must be done with expensive hardware. Yes, you can use hardware accelerated boxes to speed up things like SSL termination and HTTP compression, but they&

by scurvy 11y ago
Yep. Only the first 64 bits matter. Almost every router out there is doing hardware forwarding in ASIC based on /64 and /128. In between /64 and /128 gets broken down into multiple /128's. That's what I&#x

There are still bugs in network vendor hardware. That said, you shouldn't let that stop you from deploying IPv6[0]. It's mainly little things like you can't address a serial link as /127 (Hello HP). You should allocate a

Posit: Europe will be slow to adopt IPv6 because Europe isn't growing at all (population). They're "OK" with what they have now in terms of IPv4. Posit: the rest of the world continues growing and adopts IPv6. Europe is

Sorta half-true. There are a lot of WISP's where users only get IPv6 addresses. The WISP runs 4to6 CGN devices for the IPv4 only sites. Greenfield IPv6-only ISP's are new now, but will be much more common in the future. Comcast ki

I think Dave Temkin mentioned this at a NANOG or two. Or maybe it was at the bar. I'm not sure. I could be completely wrong. That's why I typed "think"

I know the cause. I'm just stating that Netflix isn't a viable "cord cutter" option until they work something out. I'm got too much to lose to be messing around with torrents. I just want to pay something and get th

There are still a few Solyndras out there. I know a salesperson who sold to them and said they bought stupid amounts of gear for what they were doing. You're right though, "the cloud" is siphoning up a lot of money that would

The Hollywood movie selection (non Netflix produced) is pretty horrendous. They have a fair amount of TV shows, but the movies are absent.

It could also be congestion at the peering points your ISP uses to connect (directly or through transit) to Amazon or HBO. I think Netflix also still uses caching boxes in a few locations, but they are being phased out. In other words, ther

Somewhat related to this, yay for SLAAC on IPv6. DHCP is only used for auxiliary info like DNS servers, search suffix, etc. This is known is DHCP Lite.

This happened to me once. AMEX and I worked things out. They overnighted a card to me and gave me a number to call if I really had to make a purchase. They were going to generate a one time use card number and the merchant could punch it in

But what about the fraud makes using credit cards a 'pain?' It's a pain free system for consumers.

by scurvy 11y ago
I've found that they will detect the fraud before I do. Like they always have. It's your responsibility to report fraud, but they're the big loser so they have more incentive to find the bad purchases ASAP. Going through noti

Playing devil's advocate here, why do I care (as a consumer) if my credit card number is stolen? I'm not responsible for illegitimate charges as long as I report them within a reasonable time. That's generally accepted to be

I don't run Cisco, but thanks for worrying about that. Also, stateless ACL's should protect against overrunning the control plane.

They all respond because I asked them for it. About half didn't upon turn up. It's super trivial for them to null route them or readdress in rfc 1918/4193 space. Or are you referring to xconnects inside their network? That&#x

As long as tmo doesn't adopt DT's peering policy, I'll be happy.

FYI for those that don't know. Tmo can't do 700 mhz nationwide unless they start buying TV stations and shutting them down. That band overlaps with UHF channel 51. This removes most of California and New York (among a few other st

Judging by the downvotes I got, there are people on HN that must think you should expose your router's control plane to the Internet. That or they expect transit providers to not protect their network. There's no intelligent discu
