IPv6 Buzz 055: The Good, Bad, And Ugly Of IPv6 With Geoff Huston

Ed, Scott, and Tom discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of IPv6 with Geoff Huston, APNIC’s chief scientist and network analyst nonpareil.
Geoff’s experience in designing and analyzing networks dates back to the early years of the Internet. His research and insights are paid close attention by veteran Internet engineers and architects.
Topics include:

* How IPv6 extension headers went from being a proposed design improvement to a deployment headache
* The state of IPv6 25 years after its inception and more than a decade of deployment
* How dual-stack and Happy Eyeballs papered over some key deficiencies in IPv6
* Why the IPv6 space might not be as vast as advertised (and why NAT is likely to be with us for a while)
* Why Geoff believes IPv6 is still the future of the Internet in spite of its many challenges

Thanks for listening!
