Over the last few years I have pulled back from the social networks and refocused in a way that has allowed for more time not doing tech. Overall this has been an extremely healthy choice that has only strengthened my desire to learn new things, experience different ways of thinking, and expand my overall vision past technical endeavors. This has led to some enlightening thoughts surrounding how not hyper-focusing on one thing is, in reality, a very good thing overall, and contrary to what social media may imply, will only serve your overall well being, which in turn can fuel passion toward things that can actually be beneficial career-wise.

Over the last year there has been a slow hum, quietly building around the notion of building what has been called an “IPv6-mostly” network. What does this term mean? How do we do it? Why bother? Well, let me attempt to answer those questions. First, what is IPv6-mostly? Thankfully, it is pretty much what it sounds like - a network segment (i.e. a LAN segment) that is mostly IPv6, and only legacy IPv4 where it has to be.

Once again I was fortunate enough to be invited to talk with the experts on IPv6 Buzz about everything IPv6 and my experience with attending IETF 116. You can check out the episode here. Discussion mostly includes Discussions on multihoming IPv6, but we run the spectrum of addressing, documentation, and all of the fun topics! Give it a listen here or in your favorite podcatcher. https://feeds.packetpushers.net/link/19801/16106092/IPv6_Buzz_125_Unique_Local_Addressing_ULA_And_Other_IPv6_Topics_At_IETF_116.mp3
