[edit] Please don't change the main page without discussing it here first.

The purpose of the Discussion tab is to allow people to hash out page changes in a separate area before putting them on the live page.

[edit] Please add a page for addressing plans

We should have a page where people can discuss IPv6 Addressing Plans

[edit] Another main page link

Please also add First Steps for ISPs to the main page.

Also, please check the discussions tab regularly since it is the only way for us to get changes on the main page.

[edit] On going organization

Content created thus far has been put into informal groupings on the home page, and these groupings include direct links to articles. As more content is created, it will be staff's intention to organize these articles into formal categories and subcategories. If users have any suggestions or feedback on how articles would be most helpfully organized, please post your thoughts here.

  • Just a ping to see if anyone has any comments on the proposed organization of the front page and the establishment of categories --ARIN Admin 10:54, 26 September 2007 (EDT)
    • This has been completed, but if anyone has additional suggestions on the organization of articles into categories, please post them here--ARIN Admin 16:47, 7 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] another new page

I've just added another page on Investigating Middleboxes that probably should go on one of the main page menus.

[edit] Could you add these to the main page?

I have added a couple of new pages, Transparent Internet Access and Broadband CPE. Could you add these into the main page menus? --Mdillon 07:08, 18 January 2008 (EST)

  • This is completed. Please confirm that they were added into the correct categories. --ARIN Admin 10:23, 16 January 2008 (EST)
  • Yes, seems reasonable. Thanks. --Mdillon 07:08, 18 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] New topic for Multihoming/Mobility in IPv6 ?

Hi,

I think that it would be useful to have a link on the main page for discussing things related to multihoming and mobility in IPv6.

Implementers of solutions could put a link there, and the different proposals for dealing with multihoming/mobility could be exposed.

For my part, I can add content related to the Shim6 multihoming protocol.

Sébastien Barré.

  • Would something like an "IPv6 Routing" link under IPv6 usage be what you are looking for, or would you like it more specific to multihoming? --ARIN Admin 10:19, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
  • In fact, while in IPv4 multihoming is indeed obtained by playing with the routing, solutions like Shim6 do not interact with the routing system. However, I understand that you don't like adding a topic that would be too targetted on a precise topic (to avoid ending up with thousands of topics in the main page). It is exactly to generalize that I proposed Multihoming/Mobility, because there are some connexions between both. Now, if we want to further generalize, we could have a title like "New proposals based on IPv6". Many things can fit in such a title. Regarding IPv6 routing, it may also be of interest, but unfortunately I am not the most competent to add content in that area, maybe others want to contribute there ? Thanks anyway for your fast answer ! --Sébastien Barré 18 july 2008


[edit] Please link to "Carrier Support" and "Device Support" off the home page.

[edit] New link for main page

On the main page there is a list item Relay Services that is not a link. I have created a page with this name. Please add the square bracket magic to the main page.

[edit] Annoying redirect/virtual host use

When I try to go to http://whois.arin.net/ while hooked up with IPv6, I end up at this wikiwiki, instead of some kine of whois query tool, like I would expect (and like I later found when I switched over to a crippled IPv4-only computer). Using telnet to port 80 showed me that there was a 301 redirect happening, but I think that's probably just the standard one when going to a MediaWiki site without anything after the host/. It probably has to do with virtual hosts as they're set up on the server(s); somehow, IPv6 HTTP requests all go to the MediaWiki site, I suppose, instead of being split off depending on what they send for the Host: in their HTTP/1.1 request. 

$ telnet 2001:500:4:1::81 80
Trying 2001:500:4:1::81...

While I'm delighted to find this IPv6 wiki, and will doubtless spend some time exploring it, and probably annoying people with nitpicking attention to detail, this is not the way I should have found it. --JROwens 13:42, 21 December 2008 (EST)
