In this episode of IPv6 Buzz 016 the team reflectes on a momentous first year for IPv6.

It’s been a great first year for IPv6 Buzz. Adoption of 128-bit address space is up, and IPv4 NAT abuse is down…at least a little. It could be that IPv6 is here to stay. 😆
As 2018 waves goodbye, we’re excited about what’s next for IPv6. Thanks to everyone that tuned in this year! We’re looking […]
