I've been working on a graphic to make teaching #IPv6 subnetting a little easier for engineers that are transitioning from #IPv4. One of the challenges I've run across is that textbook & training examples often use very simple patterns to illustrate IPV6 subnetting. However, when faced with a random assignment of a /48 prefix from an ISP, it's harder for engineers to wrap their head around how letters and numbers increment and where in the prefix that happens. Here is an example of a "real-world" IPv6 prefix (using the doc prefix) and we got from a /32 to a /48. Hope this is helpful!

12-hour timelapse of American Airlines, Delta, and United plane traffic after what was likely the biggest IT outage in history forced a nationwide ground stop of the three airlines.

Whilst aggregate traffic is not the absolute measure of #ixp success, we think this is a great milestone, showing sustainable traffic growth from our 240 directly-connected members; a quarter of a century delivering neutral interconnection for 🇬🇧 and beyond
