IPv6Planner - a basic IPv6 subnet planning tool

There are so many ways to create IPv6 Subnet plans. As discussed in IPv6 Buzz 180 , an address plan is one of, if not the first step. Because getting started in the IPv6 subnet planning can be somewhat daunting, I wrote this go application to help bootstrap the process. This open source tool can be used along with the web version of ipv6utils , or the CLI tool .

An alternative to smokeping

I have been using smokeping for 25 years. It’s a great tool that provides a useful and unique data set. The thing about smokeping is that it does not really have a lot of alternatives. To that end, I embarked on an amateurish re-imagining of both smokeping and its contemporary successor, vaping in golang. Initial version supports ping and DNS and has a nearly identical structure to Vaping (why re-invent the wheel?

Go IPv6 utilities

After spending some time with Python, I moved to Go, which seems to suit the way my brain works slightly better (make no mistake, I am still a poor developer). Keeping in line with the work done on this , I endeavored to re-write this in Golang, mostly because the subnet generation in python had some resource issues with large blocks. And off I went. With the help of an LLM to get me past weird errors and inability to compile, the resulting code is surprisingly efficient and useful - available here IPv6 Subnet Generator & RFC 6052 Converter Current capabilities: A command-line utility for IPv6 subnet generation and IPv4/IPv6 address translation using RFC 6052.
