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.

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.

Transition technologies surrounding IPv6 can be a tad bit overwhelming in their subtle nuance. Keeping up with the differences is no easy task. Today’s show provides some education and advice about IPv6 transition mechanisms. We cover options such as NAT64, DNS64, PREF64, and more, as well as use cases. Also, if your technology vendors aren’t offering some of these mechanisms, ask for them – you’re probably not the only one who has an IPv6 transition project.
