IPv6 Buzz 052: What Do Network Engineers Need To Know About IPv6?

What does a network engineer need to know about IPv6? In this episode, Scott and Ed interview IPv6 Buzz listener and veteran network engineer Andres Taudte to explore that question. In fact, this episode is based on a question Andres sent in.
Andres is based in Germany and runs his own consultancy (Honest Consulting) specializing in DDI projects.
Topics discussed include:

* What do engineers need to know about IPv6? (And IPv4!)
* How much IPv6 adoption is taking place in Andres’ region among his enterprise customers?
* Dealing with the complexities of IPv6 auto-addressing
* Why simplicity can be an important characteristic for an IPv6 address plan
* Do engineers need to change their approach to network security when dealing with dual-stack?

Thanks for listening!
