RE: IPv6 and CDN's

[Jean St-Laurent via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

I like to put some servers behind that scheme.

 

2601::443:xxxx for https servers

2601::25:xxxx for MTA servers.

2601::993:xxxx for IMAP

 

It gives a quick note of what is that ip even though it’s ipv6 and usually non-human readable. 

 

Not sure what kind of scheme is use by medium/big ISP. 

 

Do you go by zip code of the area covered or some kind of logical to help people know what is behind that ipv6 network?

But, with manually configured IP addresses, it is trivially easy
to have a rule to assign lower part of IP addresses within a subnet
for hosts and upper part for routers, which is enough to troubleshoot
most network failures.

 

99% if not 100% of our subnets have either only routers or only hosts + a gateway. So that would be a strange rule to 
follow. Also very expensive if we are talking public addressing.

 

I find that 10.x.y.z is not much if you want to have a system in your subnet numbering. With ipv6 there is much more 
space to enable systematic numbering schemes.
