Summary: In this week’s episode Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about some of the weird things they’ve seen folks do with IPv6 addresses. IPv6 is different than IPv4 in many ways but the endless supply of IPv6 addresses yields endlessly crazy ways to use them.<br> Topics discussed include:<br> <br> * Creative (and “creative”) use of IPv6 addresses<br> * Is an IPv6 link-local address prefix a /10 or a /64?<br> * Organizations using ULA badly<br> * The use of IPv6 addresses and prefixes (valid and otherwise) in vendor documentation<br> * How the extensibility of the IPv6 protocol leads to other creative approaches to communications<br> <br> Thanks for listening!<br> Sponsor: ITProTV<br> Start or grow your IT career with online IT training from ITProTV, and enjoy a special offer for IPv6 Buzz listeners: sign up and save 30% off all plans!
