This session was titled “IPv6 Microsegmentation,” and the speaker was Ivan Pepelnjak. The session starts with a discussion of the problems found in Layer 2 IPv6 networks. Note that some of these attacks are also common to IPv4 and are not necessarily unique to IPv6. Can we use shared Layer 3 IPv6 subnets?

As usual, here’s my random collection of links, articles, and thoughts about various data center technologies. Charles Min-Cheng Chan has a write-up on using IPv6 in Mininet. Clifford Haas has a review of VMware NSX (this is from back in January). Guido Hagemann provides a very thorough article on VMware ESXi claim rules.

I have here for your reading pleasure an eclectic collection of links and articles from around the web, focusing on data center-related technologies. Dmitri Kalintsev (disclaimer: he works for the NSBU at VMware, as I do) has a write-up on the different control plane modes for VXLAN in VMware NSX. Bring on the content!

I’ve got a new collection of links and articles from around the Web on various data center-focused technologies. Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Welcome to Technology Short Take #77. Networking. Good advice. John Kozej has a write-up on an NSX logical switch packet walk.

As usual, I gathered an odd collection of links and articles from around the web on key data center technologies and trends. Couple something like GoBGP with IPVLAN L3 (see Brent’s article ) and you’ve got a new model for your data center network. via VMware Photon OS TP2. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6?

This is the kick-off to a series of posts introducing networking concepts to VMware administrators. Based on the feedback I’ve gotten in speaking to VMware admins, networking is an area in which a lot of VMware-focused folks aren’t particularly comfortable. There’s a reason I’m mentioning all of this.
