Complete re-write of stats.ipv6.army now live. Better updates, more accurate (i.e. not manually curated) stats.

For those that are involved or interested in the USG #IPv6-only mandate, a new project tracking that progress using all public data (RouteViews, IPv6-Hitlist, CAIDA AS2Org, etc.) is available usg-stats.ipv6.army

"If you would have not called us who knows when we would have noticed this. Only one other person called about it". This reinforces that monitoring config & traffic for both protocols is necessary. Dual-stack works "too well" for the average user to notice breakage, but only in one direction 3/3

I don't say this to disparage anyone, I've run ISPs and it's a hard job needing a lot of attention to detail. What I wanted to highlight is that dual-stack definitely masks broken behavior. If a large amount of my work wasn't IPv6-only, I probably would have missed that #IPv6 didn't come back. 2/3

On Friday my fiber provider / ISP had an unscheduled outage. They've been extremely stable in the 5 years I have had them. When the service returned after about 10 minutes, #IPv6 didn't come back. It took myself and @netops2devops.net calling repeatedly to get this addressed. 1/3

#audio folks of bluesky - I am rebuilding an audio system after a couple of decades of not playing physical media. We have a lot of cassettes, records, and CDs. I have a decent sony CD player. Looking for recommendations on turntable, tuner/amp, cassette deck. Not opposed to vintage.

David Huberman from ICANN shared at #ABQNOG that the DNS root KSK rollover is October 11. Running a DNSSEC-validating resolver? Confirm KSK-2024 (key tag 38696) is in your trust anchors if not, every query SERVFAILs. Not the DNS gal or guy? Pass this along! www.icann.org/resources/pa...

New and *vastly* improved version of tiny-twamp is now available github.com/buraglio/tin... New features include actual RFC compliance with twamp-light (RFC 5637 §5), prometheus export, influxdb support, and a whole new binary release system. #latency #measurement #twamp

Anyone have any insight on this behavior with the @tailscale.com client? I can't seem to replicate it with tailscale service, but it's really easy to reproduce with headscale. It *looks* like a client issue, but I'm still trying to understand the whole picture github.com/juanfont/hea...

I'll be giving a talk at @chinog.bsky.social tomorrow (28-May) about why should care about #IPv6. Stop by if you're around!

More and more I am finding that the single largest technical impediment to #IPv6 deployment is the fact that #Github has no IPv6. Lack of an IPv6 endpoint not only hinders development work, it really makes working with containerization images and platforms almost prohibitively frustrating. 1/2

Fairly big updates to the backend of stats.ipv6.army - integration of routeviews data to enrich BGP statistics, fix a *bunch* of really, really gross hardcoded stuff, make modular and improve data source polling logic, and added better mobile network data statistics. #ipv6 #ipv6stats

Last nights fun project was this topography mapper using LLDP and SNMP to walk networks and map them out. Generates a png, pdf, drawio diagram or a excalidraw doc. github.com/buraglio/lld...

Really looking forward to this event! #kubernetes #cilium #ipv6 #kubecon

Cilium@cilium.io · last yr.

Join ESnet's Kapil Agrawal at #CiliumCon to hear how his team built an IPv6-first #Kubernetes environment using #Cilium for networking. Expect lessons learned on routing, scaling, and simplifying operations from deploying without IPv4. 🔗 colocatedeventsna2025.sched.com/event/28D0g/...

Due to the recent potential removal of test-ipv6.com, ipv6.army now supports some similar IPv6 tests to determine compatibility and efficiency. #IPv6
