I ran into an interesting paper on the wide variety of options for assigning addresses, and providing DNS information, in IPv6, over at ERNW. As always, with this sort of thing, it started me thinking about the power of unintended consequences, particularly in the world of standardization. The authors of this paper noticed there are a lot of different options available in the realm of assigning addresses, and providing DNS information, through IPv6.
Alongside these various options, there are a number of different flags that are supposed to tell the host which of these options should, and which shouldn’t, be used, prioritized, etc. The problem is, of course, that many of these flags, and many of the options, are, well, optional, which means they may or may not be implemented across different versions of code and vendor products. Hence, combining various flags with various bits of information can have a seemingly random impact on the IPv6 addresses and DNS information different hosts actually use. Perhaps the most illustrative chart is this one—
Each operating system tested seems to act somewhat differently when presented with all possible flags, and all possible sources of information. As the paper notes, this can cause Continue reading
