IPv6 Buzz 049: IPv6 and Renumbering
The Everything Feed - All Packet Pushers Pods - A podcast by Packet Pushers
Categories:
In this week’s episode Ed, Scott, and Tom discuss one of IT networking’s biggest challenges, IP renumbering, and how IPv6 impacts (and is impacted by) it. Anyone who’s ever had to do a significant IPv4 renumbering project knows just how labor intensive and painful this process can be. Will it be easier with IPv6? If so, how and why?
Topics discussed include:
* What mechanisms exist in IPv6 to make renumbering easier?
Is it truly easier to renumber an IPv6 network than an IPv4 one?
* What are easy steps an organization can take to make any eventual IPv4 or IPv6 renumbering easier?
Why the business case for renumbering benefits from IPv6 deployment.
