IPv6 Buzz 096: Greenfield Vs. Brownfield IPv6-Only Deployments

In the latest episode of IPv6 Buzz Ed, Scott, and Tom discuss the challenges of deploying IPv6-only in both greenfield and brownfield environments. IPv6-only can have different impacts depending on where you start and what you’re trying to achieve. When is it possible to get a greenfield IPv6-only deployment (DC or public cloud, for example) versus the integration of IPv6-only with dual-stack solutions in the brownfield of an existing IPv4 deployment? Topics discussed include: * What might IPv6-only greenfield deployment look like for most enterprises? * Why your IPv4 network and content will still need to connect to your shiny new IPv6-only paradise (and vice versa). * What are some of the gotchas with IPv6-only deployment—even in a greenfield setting?
