Yess!! Success!

I finally have public IPv4 working on my internet router infrastructure 🎉

~ ❯ ping -c 3 194.28.98.217
PING 194.28.98.217 (194.28.98.217) 56(84) Bytes an Daten.

64 Bytes von 194.28.98.217: icmp_seq=3 ttl=52 Zeit=47.3 ms

Now my "hobby ISP" is dual-stack and I have working connectivity in both worlds ..

IPv6: 2a06:9801:1c::/48 -- via BGP (AS201379)

IPv4: 194.28.98.216/29 -- routed to me via Transit-Provider

Yes and No.
#IPv6 rollout is going way to slow. Reason for that is the network effect which is still stronger on legacy #IPv4 than on #IPv6. Still, we have almost reached the 50% mark and at some point in the next few years, we will reach the point where it will become politically feasible for some actors to go #IPv6only. When that happens, the network effect will tip. I'm not sure when exactly that tipping point is going to happen but I think it will happen (1/2)

The IPV4 We Didn’t Get

If you have ever read science fiction, you’ve probably seen “alternate history” stories. You know, where Europeans didn’t discover the New World until the 19th century, or t…

ugh so i've managed to go 2 evenings with #ipv4 disabled on my laptop (#ipv6 only) but now I need to read tickets and commits on #btrfs repo on github so I can learn what support there is or will be in the future for disk groups.
So I managed two days of #ipv6only.

Even in the future, there's legacy…

From the awesome game "Endless Sky", which IMO is a must-play for anyone who enjoyed the "Escape Velocity" games back in the day.

I love how #IPv6 has less 'reserved' addresses than #IPv4. So I can use the all-zeroes address of my /48 for a host and have fun with it!

Time for another very irregular regular update on #IPv6 compared to #IPv4 usage on a dual stacked college network.

As you can see from the graph, for most of the past 24 hours, incoming IPv6 traffic is significantly higher than incoming IPv4 traffic. This has been the case for many years now.
