In the previous episode I’ve claimed that there is a business case for IPv6. But since you are hopefully paranoid enough not to believe every claim someone makes on YouTube, here are the details and the rationale.
BIVBlog #10: The business case of IPv6
Of course you can sit and wait until IPv6 becomes critical to your business. But is it a good idea?
BIVBlog #6: Dynamic IPv6 address rant

BIVBlog #4: How to design an IPv6 address concept (part 2)
With the subnet prefix part taken care of, this second part of the address concept “mini series” deals with the IPv6 interface IDs.
BIVBlog #3: How to design an IPv6 address concept (part 1)
Devising an IPv6 address concept is fairly straightforward—if you know how to start and which pitfalls to avoid.
