Denise Fishburne has a 7-part series on IPv6. Nice to see that work on getting Linux up and running and fully functional on Apple’s proprietary M1 chips is progressing well. There’s some networking stuff, a few security links, and even a hardware-related article. Networking. Operating Systems/Applications.

Feature parity and user interface parity between OVS/OVN on Hyper-V is really close to OVS/OVN on Linux, which should make it easier for Linux sysadmins to use OVS/OVN on Hyper-V as well. OVN Gateway and IPv6 Support. OVN’s IPv6 support is still lacking a few features, although development is still happening in those areas.

This article contains some good information on IPv6 for those who are just starting to get more familiar with it, although toward the end it turns into a bit of an advertisement. Although Linux is often considered to be superior to Windows and macOS with regard to security, it is not without its own security flaws. Networking.

Wireguard, if you’re not familiar, is a relatively new solution that is baked into recent Linux kernels. Since the configuration of the clients and the servers is largely the same (especially since both client and server are Linux), I haven’t separated out the two configurations. There is also support for other OSes.)

I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Aside from a Windows VM I maintain for the occasional thing I can’t do effectively on Linux or OS X, I haven’t worked with Windows in any significant capacity in quite a while. Servers/Hardware.

So we have far less users for Mac and Linux than we have on Windows. Vamosi: Most antivirus products are found on Windows, much less so on Mac and Linux. ipv6 is designed to overcome the problems of ipv4 address exhaustion. So it would be very, very hard to scan for all the ipv6 addresses.
