In this episode of IPv6 Buzz, Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about our DAD issues — well, our IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) issues anyway. DAD is a feature of IPv6 that looks for duplicate IP addresses among hosts on the same segment.
Topics discussed include:
* What is Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) and how does it work?
* What types of IPv6 addresses it looks for
* What is Optimistic DAD?
* Operational considerations arising from DAD
Thanks for listening!
