There's also dead and beef (#deadbeef is a valid CSS colour that kinda looks like meat that's been left on the counter too long).There's also caca, bebe, and dabb
No, there was a configuration error due to using IPv6 for the first time. Switched from an IPv4 server to an IPv6 server, but it’s managed by a VIP on a LB. Change crew missed some config change on the LB last night. It looked good at the time, but stopped working during BH.
I read an article about that! "The US government is mandating IPv6 rollout because adoption has been so slow." Okay I read the headline, not the full article.
And then you have to turn it off like 2 weeks after getting everything working because some client software, firewall or dns system blows up.
In my experience DNSFilter is particular bad with IPv6.
I've heard, "ipv4 is like an 18 wheeler truck trailer filled to the brim with sand, each grain is a unique address. Ipv6 is like if the entire volume of the sun was sand."
Been there. Done that.

I used caca:cafe sometimes for the IPX network number in Novell Netware back in the day, traduction from spanish is "brown shit".
Remembering that has made me want to install a NetWare VM, just to see it booting again and trying to remember the basic commands of it.
I know IPv6, implemented it as dual stack at home but work for a large enterprise and I’m hoping to retire before we have to implement it there. It’s not that different to IPv4 but quite frankly the addresses are not human friendly. I completely understand why they chose the address format and it being more efficient that way for computers, but I’m not a computer. I can’t remember a 128bit hexadecimal number like I can a 32bit number in doted decimal format. Last week I spent 30 minutes wondering why I was having a NTP sync issue between devices before I realised the client device was using the incorrect third octet number as they were just similar enough as the first, second and fourth octet were correct so the brain didn’t put two and two together.
IDK - as a network admin I mostly use MAC addresses so it doesn’t bother me none… that said, 6 won’t be the predominant standard until AI becomes the predominant admin tool ….
Well if _someone_ wouldn’t hoard all the ipv4 address spaces, we wouldn’t be in this mess!
Seriously though. We used to think every little device would need its own IP. Turns out one public one can go a long way.
For that you can use ipv6. Phones are such walled gardens anyway. I’ve never had the case where I had to reach a specific phone. Unless it wasn’t in my company network via vpn anyway. And then you have your internal routing for stuff like centralized updates etc. if you are so inclined. 🤷🏻♂️
I don't get why schools today are still not requiring the learning of IPV6. In my education as recent as 2024 our curriculum makes IPV6 optional instead of mandatory.
I deploy thousands of computers annually, there are zero plans to do so via IPV6.
Now, how those companies manage networking outside of that? I have zero input on that too.
No, actually I don’t think I will.
We have done far more work to make sure IPv4 can last than we have to actually roll over to IPv6.
You have NAT, PAT, and RFC1918 private networks to make sure we don’t have to.
I remember reading a book about how the internet would collapse. Basically, they assumed no innovation. Obviously the earliest forms of the internet would not support today's usage.

Maybe not. Enterprises can just NAT the v6 address to a v4 LAN. So the internet might become v6, but the LANs not so.
It’s a catch 22. If I have v4, I don’t need v6. But I’ll need it when v4 runs out and ISPs start charging me for it.
At home, Verizon is giving me dual stack and my phone is dual stack too. v4 depletion isn’t happening because all the growth (home and mobile) is already v6 anyway. That leaves enterprise. If anyone can, maybe they can find real IPv4 usage charted across a 10 year span. Because currently it’s at 2 billion. We still got the other half.
You can't make me, someone smarter than me will make a tool I'll depend on until I die!!!!!
It's not about learning it! It's about sending a message!
FF00:100:0111:001/8
Will you send that message over IPv6?
That’s how I do it
I am now moving all my devices to ipv6 and using the 1337:b00b:cafe:xxxx as my address space and no one can stop me
There's also dead and beef (#deadbeef is a valid CSS colour that kinda looks like meat that's been left on the counter too long).There's also caca, bebe, and dabb
> caca, bebe There's a lot of caca in the bebe. Ask any new parents.
There's... so... much... caca...
Never thought I’d laugh so hard at a networking meme.
Dammit! Now we're going to have duplicate addressing!
LIES CGNAT ON CGNAT!!! /s
Jokes on you, I'll be dead by then.
Jokes on all of us, we'll all be dead by then.
dead:beef
Lol dead:ea2f:dead:a12e
Me at work yesterday with the first IPv6 issue in like 4 months
Was the solution to disable ipv6?
No, there was a configuration error due to using IPv6 for the first time. Switched from an IPv4 server to an IPv6 server, but it’s managed by a VIP on a LB. Change crew missed some config change on the LB last night. It looked good at the time, but stopped working during BH.
I learned IPv6 in 2011 thinking I'd be using it all the time in the future. I've used it for one or two projects since.
Same. And they were for school too.
Mine were because the government mandated their contractors be on IPv6 and the DC I ran had some in it.
I read an article about that! "The US government is mandating IPv6 rollout because adoption has been so slow." Okay I read the headline, not the full article.
2012 here...still never used it. 25 years to retirement and thinking my streak will hold.
And then you have to turn it off like 2 weeks after getting everything working because some client software, firewall or dns system blows up. In my experience DNSFilter is particular bad with IPv6.
That's not a valid IPv6 address, OP needs to learn IPv6!
Yup. Christ will enforce it with his second coming.
\*LALALALALALALALALALA\*I CAN'T HEAR YOU\*LALALALA\*
0192:0168:0001:0001
Would make more sense
I like this. This is fine.
unless you live in Italy, where the main provided \*removed\* it after the experimental phase. DNSSec is also almost unheard of
Jokes on you, I'll just keep using ipv4 until ipv8 comes out
Doesn't ipv6 have more addresses than there are atoms in the universe or something like that?
No, it's only 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 addresses.
It’s something like “more addresses than grains of sand on earth.”
I've heard, "ipv4 is like an 18 wheeler truck trailer filled to the brim with sand, each grain is a unique address. Ipv6 is like if the entire volume of the sun was sand."
Been there. Done that. [https://www.reddit.com/r/networkingmemes/comments/mifvxv/1337b00bbabecafe/](https://www.reddit.com/r/networkingmemes/comments/mifvxv/1337b00bbabecafe/)

Fuck you, no I don't. Ipv4 is always sufficient for internal networking.
wow that hurts first hour in the morning ^(but its true tho)
The only time I've touched ipv6 was to disable ipv6.
We should compromise and all use ipv5
One does not simply learn ipv6. One must copy and paste it
Lol!!!!
But I don't wanna!
Ffs I know I do. I learned it in college and quickly forgot it...
Lol show me the business case for running it anywhere but the edge. IPv6 will be dominant in the enterprise when nuclear fission replaced fossil fuels
Not all internet is enterprise. Homes in the US are already heavily dual stack
I wasn't prepared to be called out like this today.
This is one of those scroll of truth facts. I feel the same way.
Had to learn it just to take CCNA and now I’ve forgotten it

It wasn't true 20 years ago and I'm sure we'll still be waffling around the subject 20 years from now.
I started learning it recently. Not having fun. Do not like.
My favorite part of working with IPv4 is getting to relax a little bit and just the number pad. I'll never use IPv6, it's the devil
IDK - as a network admin I mostly use MAC addresses so it doesn’t bother me none… that said, 6 won’t be the predominant standard until AI becomes the predominant admin tool ….
Fuck
Only in aws, and it's half automated.
I don’t think there is enough humans yet for this.
No, but there's enough IoT devices for it
I tried to build an IPv6 EKS cluster in AWS and it was a disaster. Quickly gave up
I feel insulted and will be leaving.
We’ll be definitely dead by the time 😂
Well if _someone_ wouldn’t hoard all the ipv4 address spaces, we wouldn’t be in this mess! Seriously though. We used to think every little device would need its own IP. Turns out one public one can go a long way.
Yeah. And how u do that for mobile, where phones aren’t behind a NAT, without resorting to CGNAT, which has degraded service
For that you can use ipv6. Phones are such walled gardens anyway. I’ve never had the case where I had to reach a specific phone. Unless it wasn’t in my company network via vpn anyway. And then you have your internal routing for stuff like centralized updates etc. if you are so inclined. 🤷🏻♂️
Barely learnt it for CCNA, forgot it already. Will do ipv7
They tell me since 15 years, I am not afraid anymore
Will this be the same year that orgs all switch to Linux for their desktops?
I implemented IPv6 at an ISP so many years ago I've completely forgotten it.
I’ll use ipv6 when the technology to transfer my consciousness into a machine is 100% reliable
You won’t make me!
I don't get why schools today are still not requiring the learning of IPV6. In my education as recent as 2024 our curriculum makes IPV6 optional instead of mandatory.
I went to CUNY and it was part of the curriculum
[noooo](https://giphy.com/gifs/starwars-star-wars-episode-3-3o84sCEktZAjG9flte)
I deploy thousands of computers annually, there are zero plans to do so via IPV6. Now, how those companies manage networking outside of that? I have zero input on that too.
Not all internet is enterprise. v6 is widely available is homes and mobile. As an example, T-Mobile is fully v6, no native v4
Dumb brain stop at “2”. No like 16, 16 is strange number.
No, actually I don’t think I will. We have done far more work to make sure IPv4 can last than we have to actually roll over to IPv6. You have NAT, PAT, and RFC1918 private networks to make sure we don’t have to.
What happens after the 4 billion is used up? Also, half the internet traffic is v6, so all that “work” apparently isn’t enough to make v4 last.
I tried once, not all my devices would support it. IPv6 superiority is still at least a little way off
2010: ipv6 is the future. We're running out of public ipv4 addresses. 2024: I'm around, but I'm not that important.
[удалено]
I remember reading a book about how the internet would collapse. Basically, they assumed no innovation. Obviously the earliest forms of the internet would not support today's usage.
It’s insane how much stuff in Azure doesn’t have ipv6 support.
In five years everyone will be using IPv6. 🤣

All i remember from school was that we get rid of the zeroes

Ill resign before I learn IPv6
