Announcement: IPv6 Tutorial

Some time ago I asked on Mastodon if someone would be interested in a series of videos about IPv6. Some people are, so I’ll give it a try. Each video will be accompanied by a blog post. This blog post and other materials will be available on gitlab.

Starting in January 2025, videos will come out every Tuesday evening (CET) and I’ll try to keep them between 10 and 20 minutes.

Containerlab talk

Talk was in German, slides are in English:

What to use in Documentation

You want to make a presentation, write a blog post or document your brand-new software. What do you use as domain-names, IP addresses and AS numbers? If you are documenting your systems or a setup you build for a customer the question is easy to answer: It’s best to use the actual data. But if you are writing a more generic documentation there are some reserved domain names, IP prefixes and AS numbers.
