In today’s IPv6 Buzz we answer listener questions about our favorite addressing protocol, including

* I thought NAT was necessary for security? Isn’t my network less secure without NAT at the edge?

* I tend to disable IPv6 whenever I can. Is that bad?

* How feasible is it to scan an IPv6 network to discover devices?

Thanks for listening (and keep the questions coming)!
