    IPB200: Yes, IPv6 Is Complicated. IPv8 Won’t Help
    May 14 2026
    Why is IPv6 so much more complicated than IPv4? Could a newer version such as IPv8 be the solution? Guest Brian Carpenter joins our hosts to explain that many of IPv6’s complications are mathematical necessities. They point out that IPv6 has a 30 year head start on any IPv8 proposal that would struggle with many... Read more »

    IPB199: Developing IPv6-Friendly Code
    Apr 30 2026
    Tom Coffeen and Nick Buraglio welcome Chris Cummings to talk about developing code for IPv6. Chris argues that moving to IPv6 restores end-to-end connectivity, which reduces complexity for developers without the need for “ridiculous hacks” caused by IPv4 NAT. The discussion offers practical advice on avoiding common developer traps, and covers financial benefits such as... Read more »

    IPB198: IPv6 Privacy and Temporary Addresses
    Apr 16 2026
    Today our hosts discuss IPv6 Privacy and Temporary Addresses to clarify how address provisioning can potentially work for host operating systems. The discussion covers the difference between permanent and temporary privacy addresses, their uses, and how interface identifiers are assigned to hosts.

    IPB197: SLAAC and the End of DHCP?
    Apr 2 2026
    Today our hosts discuss the essential role of Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) in successfully deploying an IPv6-mostly network. SLAAC is required to assign a unique IPv6 address to the Customer-side Translator (CLAT), which allows devices to operate on IPv6. However, enterprise operators might prefer using DHCPv6 for network tracking and accountability, potentially trapping them in... Read more »

    IPB196: Is End-to-End Connectivity the Right Goal?
    Mar 19 2026
    One of the early design principles of the Internet was end-to-end connectivity: that is, every device on the Internet would be publicly addressable, and every device could share its resources or provide services. That design principle wasn’t achieved with IPv4 for a variety of reasons (including address scarcity, and many network owners not wanting endpoints... Read more »

    IPB195: Start Network Automation with IPv6!
    Mar 5 2026
    If you’re looking for a network automation project but you’re worried about breaking stuff, why not build your automation adventure around IPv6? If your production traffic runs on IPv4, you can experiment with automated configurations and changes using IPv6 without negatively impacting that v4 traffic. You can get a two-for one experience learning both IPv6... Read more »

    IPB194: Navel Gazing at NAT in IPv6
    Feb 19 2026
    Ed, Nick, and Tom discuss the need for Network Address Translation v6 to v6 (NAT66). While Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) exists, its limitations make it insufficient for real-world business needs. They also highlight that without a standardized NAT66, the market is forcing vendors to implement their own, hindering widespread IPv6 adoption. Episode Links: IPv6-to-IPv6 Network... Read more »
