In 2011, I expect to be writing a good bit more about IPv6, in part because the reality is that we are getting closer to being out of IPv4 addresses, in part because I am doing more personal experimentation with IPv6, and in part because Voxeo is going to be releasing some new product versions that will work with IPv6… and yes, in part because the network geek in me just finds IPv6 interesting.
Anyway, to kick off my 2011 coverage of IPv6, here is a video of a tutorial given by a Voxeo engineer about the basics of IPv6… enjoy!
I remember doing some work on IPv6 a decade ago when Microsoft first released a patch that added IPv6 onto Windows 2000. I wrote some code to implement TFTP server/client for IPv6.
I’m amazed that it has taken so long for IPv6 to take hold; it really does look like we’ll sail past the IPv4 address exhaustion day (next month!) and still most people will have taken no steps to move.
