Flying Penguin Technologies

Today I found myself revisiting a prior experiment: what does the web look like when you turn off IPv4 for a day.

It had been awhile since I attended an ARIN meeting, but I recently had the chance to catch some of ARIN 56 via remote participation.

I have been feeling like it was time to do something with SixSpotting again recently, but it was someone asking out on Mastodon how old the game was that led me to dig in further.

It is understandable if you thought Flying Penguin Technologies was all but defunct based on the lack of activity on this blog.

From the "I wish I'd have known that earlier" files: I'm posting this here in the hopes of saving some folk the trouble of running this down.

...or "How I learned to make friends with duct tape" Last week I wrote about not being able to route delegated prefixes as none of the servers seemed to have functionality to update the routing table.

I've been wanting to update the lab for some time so people can bring in their routers to simulate what they'll be seeing at home.

An interesting exercise for a technical event is to see how many of its sponsors have IPv6 enabled.

The use of the colon as an address separator in IPv6 has caused some mild annoyances over the years.

When I first started my journey to learn IPv6, I could not get native IPv6 at home from my residential ISP.

You've probably seen our mission statement: "Promoting the adoption of IPv6 for the preservation of an open Internet."

At work today, I helped someone use ping6 to figure out what to fix on a server that wasn't reachable over IPv6.

I often hear comments like "Where do I start on IPv6?"

As Vint Cerf said, "We need to stop running the experimental version of the Internet [IPv4], and move to the production version of the Internet running IPv6!"

What's wrong with NAT?

Back in June I participated in Turn off IPv4 Day as a show of solidarity.

The other day on IRC, the bot for one of the channels I frequent reconnected, and I noticed it was coming in over IPv4.

Many of my recent posts have been about sites that have not yet enabled IPv6.

The response from Time Warner Cable every time I call to ask about IPv6 involves some variant on "We are not deploying IPv6 because we have enough IPv4 addresses."

I am pleased to announce the IPv6 photo gallery is now live on our site.

In recent months, there have been presentations at some of the big Internet gatherings by Time Warner Cable engineers about IPv6-only access networks.

This week I remotely participated in ARIN 32.

If you missed my first LinuxFest talk on IPv6 Troubleshooting, you have a second chance!

Who doesn't like pretty graphs?

A little bit about how Flying Penguin came to be in a guest post on ARIN's blog: The Internet.

Someone around here tried to convince me to go to Southeast Linux Fest 2013.

My talk from last year's SouthEast LinuxFest is now available on the web.

Join us at SouthEast LinuxFest for an interactive network lab experience.
