IPB184 - IPv6 Basics- Dual-Stack

We’re diving into another IPv6 Basics today with the topic of dual-stack, which means running the IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks simultaneously. We get many questions about the implications of running dual-stack, and in this episode we’ll provide answers. We start by getting a little finicky about the definition of dual-stack, and then talk about when you should be using it, the impacts dual-stack may have on your network design, and how to think about dual-stack as a transition to an all (or mostly) IPv6 environment.

IPB183 - Measuring IPv6 and IPv6 Statistics

I love some measurement data. On this IPv6 Buzz, Tom and I talk about measuring IPv6 and IPv6 statistics. We talk about why it’s useful to measure IPv6, how to track v6 deployment initiatives, and tools to help with your measurements. There is more there than one may think! In particular, we discuss my new project the IPv6 Global Statistics Dashboard, which aims to agfgregate all IPv6 statistical data regarding deployment.

HN795 - Adventures In Latency

After creating an alternative to smokeping in GoLang, I spoke with Ethan over at the packet pushers and we thought “why not do a podcast about latency?” Latency is an important, often overlooked, and less understood aspect of networking. This rings true regardless of the network type - HPC, wide area, carrier, data center, and campus all need to have reasonable latency in order to perform their intended functions. So, circling back to what I thought was my very first Packet Pushers guest spot, but was actually my second, we talk about my favorite toolkit, PerfSonar, and many more.
