IPv6 Buzz 088: Host OS IPv6 Addresses – What’s Up With That?
In this episode Ed, Scott, and Tom chat about IPv6 addresses on host OSes: the different types, how they are formed, what they look like, how to tell them apart, and how they are used.
Topics discussed include:
* Link-local and Global Unicast IPv6 addresses and their different scopes
* The IPv6 Interface Identifier (IID)
* The difference between Modified EUI-64 and random IIDs
* What Router Advertisements do (and how they affect IPv6 address formation)
Thanks for listening!
