Oprational Security Considerations for IPv6 Networks (RFC 9099)

• This session provides operational security insights for running IPv6 networks, addressing new challenges that differ from IPv4 and offering recommended mitigation techniques for managed environments.

• This session covers: security in enterprise, service provider, and managed residential networks, helping operators make secure deployment choices.

• This session covers topics such as IPv6 addressing plans, handling of extension headers, link-layer protections, control plane hardening, and best practices for routing security.

• This session also includes dual-stack and IPv4/IPv6 coexistence mechanisms, highlighting the associated security considerations and strategies for mitigating risks.
