IPv6 Buzz 101: Innovating With IPv6

In this episode of IPv6 Buzz, Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about innovation using IPv6. While some IT organizations regard IPv6 migration as just chore they have to undertake to deal with IPv4 shortages, the limitless supply of v6 addresses creates new opportunities for network engineers and application developers including flat networks with many more nodes, robust segmentation options, supporting overlays, and more. We discuss: * Unique characteristics of IPv6 that facilitate innovation * Innovation constraints due to an IPv4 mindset * Application developers’ awareness (or lack thereof) of what the unlimited supply of IPv6 can provide * Whether an overall lack of IPv6 deployment stifles innovation Thanks for listening!
