Summary: In the latest episode of IPv6 Buzz we examine IPv6 deployment among cable providers. We’ll discuss industry trends, dual-stack deployments, and how the cable industry is working to transition IPv4 out of the providers’ access and distribution networks.<br> Topics include:<br> <br> * The status of IPv6 deployment among cable providers<br> * Why an IPv6-only network with IPv4 running as a service (IPv4aaS) is desirable for cable provider networks<br> * What prevents some cable providers from adopting IPv6<br> * The DOCSIS standard and why it’s important for IPv6<br> * Why a /56 IPv6 prefix is likely the best minimum size for home networks<br> <br> Our guest is Dan Torbet, Director of Systems Engineering at ARRIS. He’s worked in the cable/MSO Internet industry for over 25 years.<br> Dan was an active participant in industry efforts around DOCSIS 3.0 and Modular CMTS specifications and has been a long time advocate of IPv6 adoption including as a very active Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force member and volunteer.<br> Thanks for listening!<br> Show Links:<br> <a href="http://www.rmv6tf.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force</a><br> <a href="https://www.arris.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arris.com</a><br> <a href="https://www.cablelabs.com/specs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CableLabs Specifications Library</a><br> <a href="https://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World IPv6 Launch Measurements</a><br> Your Hosts:<br> <br> * <a href="https://twitter.com/ehorley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ed Horley @ehorley</a><br> * <a href="https://twitter.com/ipv6tom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Coffeen @ipv6tom</a><br> * <a href="https://twitter.com/scotthogg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scott Hogg @scotthogg</a><br> <br>
