Hey folks,
Where's a good place to learn about IPv6?
I've *mostly* got my head around IPv4 these days, and my ISP still only has
an unsupported 6rd gateway which I've tried with momentary success on my
router.
I understand that the address space is 128 bits vs 32, that successive
colons mean 0000 between them, that devices can have "local" and
"global"
scoped addresses, and it's *supposed* to do away with NAT... but that's
about as far as I've gotten :)
A server I lease overseas has an IPv6 address block assigned to it, and I'm
struggling to figure out how I'm supposed to assign a reverse DNS to it, so
Google and friends don't flag it for the MTA not having a reverse lookup
(for now, I just lock it to IPv4)... I figured I might as well learn more
about how it works, different to IPv4..
Any practical pointers?

I recommend following along with the certification here:
https://ipv6.he.net/certification/
It's a reasonable intro
Cheers,
Brett

That would be a good topic for a Saturday session. I could run it.

Sounds good to me. I mean we keep getting told that IPv4 is going to go
away so I figure it's something worthwhile knowing..
Others'd be interested?

I would recommend reading RFC 8200 "Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6)
Specification", available from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8200.
I learned IPv4 (or more especially UDP & TCP) from RFCs 791, 768 & 793.
Cheers ... Duncan.
