RIPE NCC Staff Presentation #ipv6 #ipv4
As the transition to IPv6 progresses, IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses have emerged as a critical, yet often misunderstood, tool for compatibility. But are they as straightforward as they seem? In this video, the RIPE NCC’s Ondřej Caletka dives deep into the quirks and complications of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. Why are these addresses, meant to simplify the shift to IPv6, raising eyebrows in the networking community? Could they be introducing more problems than they solve? Join us as we explore real-world scenarios, unexpected behavior across different systems, and what this all means for the future of internet protocols.
