      @DefenderLLC yeah its been a really slow adoption... I use to work for a large MSP, and had many many customers.. Not one of them wanted or even asked for IPv6.. Other than on stupid RFC documentation they sent in (request for quote).. But then never followed through with it..

      And I honestly looked for any projects I could get involved in - there were none.. Globally None..

      I finally got involved in getting a /32 from arin, and creating the routing objects for it via our ASNs etc.. There was one project that was being worked on.. But the nature of the projected actually required it because they were doing something with mobile comms in cars, and there are a shit ton of cars ;) heheh Wonder whatever happened with that project? I completed my portion of all the IPv6 routing, and delegation, etc. I know they brought up some connections in the IPv6 space.. But then I left that company a couple of years back.

      They really couldn't easy do what they were wanting to do if they would of tried doing it with IPv4 - just not enough IP space available - even if you owned all of it ;)

          @johnpoz Meanwhile, AT&T just "doubled" the cost for any static IPv4s for residential customers. So my /29 just went from $15/mo to $30/mo. Still keeping it though!

            Thanks for the info, I love spurring a good chat. Yeah I had no idea it was standard for IPv6 localohost, it was not showing in 23.3 which is what really caught my eye. Cheers

                The US Government is mandating IPv6 now. They are even starting to shift some of their internal services to IPv6. It will only be a matter of time now before everyone has to learn it, and has no choice.

                    @rtorres haha - yeah when has the gov/dod done stuff on time ;)

                    https://media.defense.gov/2021/Jul/13/2002761414/-1/-1/0/DOD-MEMORANDUM-DEPARTMENT-OF-DEFENSE-IMPLEMENTATION-OF-INTERNET-PROTOCOL-VERSION-6.PDF

                    They still have time to get to the 80% mark ;)

                    c. Require that at least 80 percent of IP-enabled assets on DoD networks are operating in IPv6-only environments by the end of FY 2025.

                    edit: quick once over that doc, looks there is really no actual drop dead date, because they have a clause where if stuff doesn't support IPv6 it can stay, and just need to come up with a plan to retire it.. Which could be 20 years from now knowing the gov/dod, and some the really OLD equipment I worked on when I was in the navy..

                    Seems more like they are saying new equipment needs to be IPv6.. Which is great..

                    And also a clause where you can file for an exception ;) to the rule..

                        @DefenderLLC Oh I wouldn't doubt it - I have seen those still in the wild, and not gov or dod ;)

                        I would have to check with my buddy, but they still had a 6509 in the DC, pretty sure last time I checked with him the uptime was like 12 years ;)

                          @johnpoz I remember deploying hundreds of 6509s and 6913s when I worked at Dell from the mid-90s to early 2000s. We had them everywhere as DC and mid-core switches along with those Cisco Lightstreams (ATM). I also remember when the gig over copper blades came out which was a big deal back then.

                          I'm really showing my age here... LOL

                            @DefenderLLC they were a workhorse that is for sure! I can tell you for sure there are still plenty still out there working away... I just texted my buddy to see if they have it still up.. I know I had found an old switch with a 10 year something uptime, and was asking my buddy what was the longest uptime he had seen, and he said their 6509 was like 12 years something - he had sent me the output.. I just texted him to see if it still online or they finally got rid of it, I know they were moved one of the DCs to a new location.. And that might of been on the chopping block, but lets see if he gets back to me anytime soon ;)

                            I just looked - my current gig we have some 4500s still in operation.. One I just connected to has an uptime of 10 years, 19 weeks ;)

                              @johnpoz Wow! Yeah, those things were/are pretty bulletproof - literally. Are they still running CatOS code, or did they finally start supporting IOS?

                                  Dude, that's awesome. I bet Dell still has tons of 3750s, 2924s, and 2948s in the IDF closets!

                                    I used to have those in my environment with longer uptimes than that. Unfortunately I get audited and I'm not allowed to use EOS/EOL gear at all, so most of them got replaced with 9400/9500's in VSS years ago.

                                      When I worked at GM, we had a yearly exercise that required simulating dozens of every type of network failure that you can think of on the MFG floor, so the uptimes would never be more than one year. Stuff like simulated WAN circuit outages, switch port failures, etc. They didn't do that in the corporate offices though.
