Welcome to this uniquely numbered episode of the IPv6 Buzz podcast–episode 128! Okay, all episodes are uniquely numbered. That’s how serialization works. But 128 is a special number in the context of IPv6. IPv6 address space is 2^128 large…which is inconceivably massive. You’ve heard Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about the utter hugeness in discussions explaining why /64s on point-to-point links isn’t wasteful in any meaningful way, rapidly rotating endpoint IPv6 address assignments, and more. There’s only going to be one episode 128 of IPv6 Buzz, and this is it.
In this Cisco Country Digital Acceleration Program sponsored episode, co-hosts Ed Horley and Scott Hogg talk with Pradeep Kathail and Mark Townsley. Pradeep is the CTO of Enterprise Networking, and Mark Townsley is a Cisco Fellow in the Meraki Business Unit.
Topics discussed include:
- IPv6 adoption in the enterprise lags behind. Why is this and what are some of the challenges organizations are facing when moving to IPv6?
- How Cisco is helping customers tackle some of these challenges.
- Meraki’s approach to IPv6 today.
- How is Cisco driving innovation and investments in IPv6?
Thanks for listening!

To Pradeep & Mark: will Cisco DUO app get IPv6-capabilities? Have asked Duo folks over the years, and at CLUS’23, but doesn’t seem is a committed roadmap. Thanks!
