IPv6 torrent and non-GUA addresses
by Marco Moock 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

Hello! I want to share some experience and ask if other people here also noticed that behavior. I operate an IPv6 torrent client (qbittorrent/libtorrent) and I noticed various things: The client itself sometimes uses non-GUA source addresses when connecting to GUA addresses in the default setting. When binding to the GUA address only, it uses only them. https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/19618 This seems to be not yet fixed. I also notice a reasonable amount of incoming traffic with non-GUA addresses like from 63ed:b73b::/32 or 485f:1207::/32, ac11:1::/32 etc. This also shows that some ISPs don't seem to prohibit their customers from sending such packages. Does anybody here also experienced that? Is there any monitoring at exchange points to find the source? -- kind regards Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1711396344muell(a)cartoonies.org

No more Google IPv6 stats?
by Mat Ford 05 Apr '24

End of an era? https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html has no data since Feb 25th. The (lack of) growth over the last 9 months is hardly encouraging either.

After my IPv6-mostly talk at RIPE88 plenary someone asked me: what about Windows? So, there is some light at the end of the tunnel: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/networking-blog/windows-11-plans-to-… -- Cheers, Jen Linkova

A strange idea
by Jens Link 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Hi, last Monday there was an event by https://www.eco.de titled "IPv6 in Germany - How do we help those who are hesitant?" It was a nice day but unfortunately very few of the hesitant people where there. As I'm also currently working in a rather big IPv6 project IPv6 know how and training is currently a big topic in my daily work. As I was just randomly watching youtube, I had a very strange idea: What if we put together an "advent of IPv6" just like https://adventofcode.com/ or https://tryhackme.com/r/christmas We would need to create 25 tasks for people to solve. From basics to more advanced topics. What we also need is a containerized lab environment, including some virtual networking stuff. And maybe some sponsors for e.g. T-Shirts for people completing all / most of the task. And maybe some nice certificate. People seem to like them.

Not sure if I send this to this list. Last year I started working in a new IPv6 project and needed a place to collect some links. So here we go: https://gitlab.com/jenslink/ipv6-resources/ Fell free to send merge requests.
