Due to the recent potential removal of test-ipv6.com, https://www.ipv6.army now supports some similar IPv6 tests to determine compatibility and efficiency. #ipv6

Happy to be involved with this one. Should also mention the speed with which this published. 14 months from a dinner conversation to a published document is pretty wild (12 months in data tracker time!) https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9872/

In the same vein as https://ipv6compatibility.com/, I have used replit to create an aggregation service for global #ipv6 statistics. The code is slightly modified to run stand-alone on my own hosting systems and is available on my github. It's still pretty beta, but it works reasonably well […]

"Pop quiz, hotshot." --Dennis Hopper as Howard Payne, Speed (1994) I built a quiz app in Go. It's flexible that any questions could be compiled into it, but right now it's mostly AI generated questions about #ipv6. https://quiz.ipv6.army/

Made a high level, basic "get your #ipv6 address plan started" app and posted to github. It's somewhat complimentary to ipv6utils (also on GitHub and Mac homebrew). It is pretty basic, more of a bootstrap than anything - because the first step is usually the hardest […]

New post: IPv6 Buzz Podcast 175: IPv6 Basics - Link-Local Addresses https://www.forwardingplane.net/post/2025-05-16-ipv6buzz-175/

I’m coming around to Go, for whatever reason it makes more sense to me than python. 🤷 With some help (ok, quite a bit of help) the #ipv6 tools are now compiled into a go binary. Here is the webified version: https://tools.forwardingplane.net Much faster, more features. Seems a lot more stable.

An example of the webapp version of the #ipv6 planner is available at https://tools.forwardingplane.net It's my first (and only) flask based webapp, so I have no idea of the stability, but it does work.

I created a few tools in an effort to better acquaint myself with python. One to generate #ipv6 prefixes for address planning One to generate URL lists for use in things like pihole or other intelligence feeds, and one to take TailScale IPv6 addresses and create DNS entries for them either in […]

Holy cow - Cloudflare Radar reports fully one third of all their HTTPS traffic is now using #pqc handshakes under TLS 1.3. This is up from 13% in November, and < 2 % in March 2024. https://radar.cloudflare.com/adoption-and-usage

So #fosdem early afternoon update... ARP entries on dual stack 2913 DHCP entries on dual stack 3017 IPv6 entries dual stack 10195/1847 currently REACHable IPv6 entries IPv6-only 39593/6999 So at least 8846 IPv6 capable devices present Traffic picked up at ~1Gbit/s down and ~663Mbit/s upload

Since modem.show is probably done as far as publishing podcasts, I am thinking of moving off of a full mastodon install onto a #gotosocial install (which I already have set up on another domain). So far it is a very straightforward platform, much more simple than a full mastodon instance. Any […]

Is anyone that *actively runs* a mastodon instance interested in a domain I bought - neteng.social - that I had big plans to run as a public mastodon server, and then never did? I'd let someone transfer it if they agreed to use it for a *public* masto instance, and had resources and experience […]

Discouraging use of RFC7050 for Discovery of IPv6 Prefix Used for IPv6 Address Synthesis Now an adopted IETF draft. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-buraglio-deprecate7050/ #ietf #ipv6

Since everything in @obsidian is literally markdown, & my site is built in Netlify, taking those notes & shoving them into the blog is very easy. After building what will become some public DoT / DoH resolvers, I just added my 1st post of 2024 =) […]

Looking back on my blog (https://www.forwardingplane.net ), after 13+ years it has started to dwindle off. Where I found it personally most valuable was as a repository of random junk that I learned, especially as a place that forced me to organize my notes. Going through my notes (now in […]

Frustrated and not wanting to host my own wordpress, or to pay for hosting, I moved (again) back to hugo/netlify. So many updates and tools improvements since I last tried this a few years ago. https://www.forwardingplane.net is now MD driven (again). Now I just need to find motivation to add […]

I'm looking for a summer intern to work on testing and evaluating the options and performance of CLAT across platforms. #ipv6 https://jobs.lbl.gov/jobs/student-assistant-6824

A few of us want to promote use of pref64 for IPv6-only. We wrote a draft to help. Eyeballs and input from practitioners would be useful . Let’s exercise this new momentum on non-x-sites. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-buraglio-deprecate7050 #ipv6 #ipv6only
