I'm pretty familiar with "complex network related topics" - and I think this is the most interesting IPv6 related post on HN in 2+ years (there may have been others that got by me).
I"m curious - are you someone with "large scale IPv6 deployment experience?" - in particularly, how would you have approached their issues regarding MLD snooping and TCAM exhaustion?
It may be interesting, but my point was that there is nothing in this article to learn from with the exception of problematic code from a network vendor.
Yes - I am. I deployed a 4 state IPv6 overlay servicing 250k subscribers on one of the very first (fully rolled out) DOCSIS 3 HFC networks in the US. I was responsible for the security and performance of the architecture. This rollout started in 2010. The TCAM exhaustion was self inflicted based on the hints of design throughout the article and the original authors understand of MLD is, just generally, incorrect unfortunately.
