Hi Michael,

I read the article and it's very interesting.  It's a long journey for you, Nick and other IPv6 pioneers.  I salute your effort and achievements!

It would be great if you can also share some of the lessons you learned, like Erik did in this article: https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/10-years-since-world-ipv6-launch 
I think many people will be interested.

Best regards,

XiPeng

Hi folks:

Nick is on a post-IETF vacation, so I thought I would mention a milestone that's of interest to this group.

A quarter-century ago *today*, ARIN allocated its first LIR block of production IPv6 address space--to ESnet.  This may have been the first LIR block in the world, as WIDE would receive 2001:200:: days later.

I discuss the history of this moment in a blog post here (v4-only, thank you Wordpress): 
https://lightbytes.es.net/2024/08/02/25-years-of-production-ipv6-in-esnet/

We also have a news item on the ESnet website (v6, thank you
Cloudflare): 
https://www.es.net/news-and-publications/esnet-news/2024/esnet-celebrates-25-years-of-production-ipv6/

Of course, none of this would be possible without the great work of the IETF and its working groups over the years (ngtrans, v6ops, etc., and the various players who developed IPng, refined it, and shepherded it to standardization).  Thank you all.

michael
