Why You Should Stay Away from Extending IPv4 Solutions
As we approach the 10 year anniversary of World IPv6 Launch, a parallel effort attempting to extend IPv4 addressing is taking place – introducing a series of complex technical, political, and logistical issues. With all the success occurring with the ongoing migration to IPv6 (49% IPv6 adoption in North America according to Google), we recommend you

IPv6 in the DoD finally?
Lots of IPv6-related things hit the news cycle in the last few weeks.Here are some of those news items: 2020 IPv6 OMB Mandate: stating all federal agencies must transition at least 20% of their networks to IPv6-only by end of FY 2023 the NIST IPv6 Profile updated to their Revision 1 of the US Government

IPv6 Enabled Enterprises Workshop
The National Cybersecurity Center Center of Excellence (NCCoE) hosted a great IPv6 workshop today. Spectacular and substantive discussion packed into a morning workshop on the stae of IPv6 deployment in the enterprise network. The workshop was MCed by Doug Montgomery from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). You can take a look at

IPv6 Security – Server Operating Systems
The DoD has done an excellent job in annotating the best security practices for operating systems for years with its Security Technical Implementation Guides, or STIGs. In fact, STIGs for networking systems like routers, IDS/IPS, switches, devices, etc have been updated to reflect the new reality: IPv6. However, with STIGs on the operating system there

IPv6 for Home Users
I was fortunate to present my take on IPv6 for the home user. I’ll embed the PowerPoint slides here below. On November 20th, I was asked to give an IPv6 presentation for the D.C Cyber Security Professionals Meet Up Group. We didn’t have a very good turn out, but I was able to focus on

IPv6 Whitebox Networking Presentation
We had a great time at the North American IPv6 Summit last week. I recommend everyone check out the virtual downloads and sessions, as there was so much great content this year. Most of this year’s excitement is how IPv6 intersects with things like Software Defined Networking (SDN), OpenStack, Whitebox networking, and Network Functions Virtualization

DNS: Back to Basics for Network Engineers
Speaking with quite a few network engineers in the last few months, I was shocked by the lack of real understanding of the Domain Naming System (DNS). It shocked me because it is the singular application functionality that is entirely network-based. Meaning that DNS is the foundation of the Internet, and from their perspective, should

Authentication for OSPFv3 Address Family support in IOS-XE? Think again
Bottom line up front: Cisco has a broken implementation of OSPFv3 authentication. This story begins like many do with network engineers trying to do their best in implementing IPv6 after a thorough and exhaustive engineering exercise. Cisco’s Aggregation Services Router (ASR) routing platform running IOS-XE, starting with version 3.1.0 until the most recent 3.09.02 S,
