On today’s IPv6 Buzz, Ed and Scott talk about IPv6 in the management plane with guests Nick Buraglio and Chris Cummings, network engineers and co-hosts of the MODEM podcast.
Topics discussed include:
- The key management plane challenges when deploying IPv6
- Whether IPv6 is harder to work with in the management plane compared to the control or data planes
- Dual-stack versus IPv6-only in the management plane
