IPv6 Buzz 90: IPv6 Unique Local Addresses (ULAs) And You
In this episode Ed, Scott, and Tom chat about Unique Local Addresses (ULAs), what they are, how they are used, when (or if) you should use them in your networks.
Topics discussed include:
* What are Unique Local Addresses? What purpose are they supposed to serve?
* How are ULAs defined and provisioned according to standards? (And how do they actually get defined and provisioned in actual networks?)
* What are some of the problems with ULAs?
* Should you deploy ULAs? If not, what should you deploy instead and why?
Thanks for listening!
