Go6lab has created an open public test of some implementations of NAT64 and DNS64. Anyone with IPv6 connectivity can now test different NAT64 implementations by simply setting their computer’s recursive DNS servers to one of those specified on the Go6lab NAT64 test instructions page. Then just turn off IPv4 and start using your computer as usual. This Read more…
And so we reach Friday… the final day of the 86th meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) where it’s a short day that ends early and for us within the Deploy360 Programme only hits two of our topics: IPv6 and Routing Resiliency/Security. General information about participating remotely can be found on the Remote Participation Read more…

The 86th meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is happening next week in Orlando and if you are interested in IPv6, there are quite a number of working groups where IPv6 will be discussed. Our recently-published “Rough Guide To IETF 86′s Hot Topics” highlights three of the IPv6 groups: v6ops (IPv6 Operations) WG Read more…
As we mentioned previously, the handlers at the SANS Institute’s “Internet Storm Center (ISC)” have indicated that March will be their “IPv6 Focus Month”. To that end, they’ve started off the month with a list of IPv6 resources they have previously published at the ISC and their list does include some great content (some of which Read more…
Geoff Huston at APNIC Labs published today a fascinating and very well-documented exploration of why he was having occasional seemingly random problems sending email from his Apple Mail program via APNIC’s Microsoft Exchange Server. It’s such a good read that I’ll not spoil the story, other than to say it is a good example of the Read more…

If so, the team behind the Internet Storm Center (ISC) would love to share your stories as part of their IPv6 Focus Month they are planning for March 2013. Johannes Ullrich of the Read more…
Earlier this month at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, a new “Internet of Things Consortium” was announced bringing together 10 companies with the stated goal of fostering and supporting the growth of Internet-connected devices for consumers. The consortium has a website now visible at iofthings.org. The term “Internet of Things” has been Read more…
Have you been hearing much about new deployments of IPv6 lately? Some people I talk to say things have gone a bit silent. I think that is a noteworthy observation that could mean different things depending on your point of view. I will agree that I have seen fewer media articles about the topic than Read more…
What kind of growth did we see for IPv6 in 2012? What did we see in terms of adoption of IPv6 within various industries? Yesterday our colleague Phil Roberts outlined his view on the “Big Changes In The IPv6 Landscape in 2012“. Phil wrote about many of the changes that happened over 2012, particularly with Read more…
