IPv6 is quietly fading away as a topic<\/a> according to the IETF. Wait, wait please read on, the article expresses “this is a good sign for IPv6, and it shows that the closing of the IPv6 working group was a sensible move and that IPv6 is becoming mature” …. “becoming an integrated part of all of the work within the IETF” … “The fact that the focus for IPv6 is on operational issues and integrated IPv4 and IPv6 issues shows that IPv6 has moved into a new phase and is now starting to become a natural part of the daily life of the IETF and the network community as a whole”.
\nIPv6 For the Rest of Us<\/a>, does show a slightly different view point highlighting that \u201cthere is no demand\u201d for IPv6 right now … but with the advisory issued by ARIN to alert the internet community of “that migration to IPv6 is necessary for any applications that require ongoing availability from ARIN<\/a>” this demand may change!
\nAnd not all is rosie with IPv6, as reported on a number of tech news sites, the elimination of the RH0 header problem which exposes a potential security flaw in IPv6<\/a> was front in centre recently.
\nThe initiating presentation on the topic [PDF] <\/a> is quite interesting.
\nIn more controlled testing there was a recent DHCPv6 Bake Off (March 2007) <\/a> which appears to have gone very well. As is the purpose of these things a number of issues were identified, with a key question of “What should happen when a client requests a particular address and the server does not agree to the request?” sounding like another big DoS problem, as articluated by John R.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
