And this is how you build an IPv6-only data center

Tore Anderson has been talking about IPv6-only data centers (and running a production one) for years. We know Facebook decided to go down that same path… but how hard would it be to start from scratch?

Not too hard if you want to do it, know what you're doing, and are willing to do more than buy boxes from established vendors. Donatas Abraitis documented one such approach, and he's not working for a startup but a 12-year-old company. So, don't claim it's impossible ;)

  1. Nice article.

    I like this part:
    - If you are not using IPv6, you are contributing for terrorism;
    - Lack of IPv6 is a bug, not just a missing feature;

    I think I've heard this somewhere recently. ;-)
