Router ေတြေသတဲ့ေန႔

ကၽြန္ေတာ္တုိ႔ေတြေန႔စဥ္သုံးေနတဲ့ IP address ဟာ 32-bits ရွိျပီး ၁၉၈၁ ခုႏွစ္မွာသတ္မွတ္ခဲ့တဲ့ စံနစ္ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ (RFC-791)
ဒီစံနစ္ကုိ IP version 4 (IPv4) လုိ႔ေခၚပါတယ္။ ပညာရွင္အမ်ားစုက IPv4 ရဲ့ address ေတြဟာမၾကာခင္ကုန္မွာျဖစ္တဲ့ အတြက္ 128-bits ရွိတဲ့ IP version 6 (IPv6) ကုိေျပာင္းသုံးၾကဖုိ႔ လုွ႔ံေဆာ္ေနတာ ၅ ႏွစ္ေၾကာ္ရွိပါျပီ။ တကယ္ဆုိရင္ IPv6 ကုိစံနစ္အေနနဲ႔စတင္သတ္မွတ္ခဲ့တာ ၁၉၉၆ ခုႏွစ္ကပါ။ (RFC-2460)

ဒါေပမယ့္လက္ေတြ႔မွာ IPv6 ကုိလက္ခံသုံးစြဲတဲ့ႏွုန္းကသိပ္အားရစရာမေကာင္းလွပါဘူး။ ေနာက္ပုိင္းထြက္တဲ့ OS ေတြအားလုံးလုိလုိလဲ IPv6 ကုိသံုးစြဲႏုိင္ဖုိ႔တခါထည္းပါေနပါျပီ။ ပညာရွင္အခ်ဳိ.ကလည္း IPv6 ဆုိတာေနာင္ႏွစ္ေပါင္းမ်ားစြာအထိ မလုိအပ္ေတာ့ဘူး၊ IPv4 နဲ႔ဘဲ အဆင္ေျပမွာဘဲလုိ႔ထင္ၾကပါတယ္။

ဒါနဲ႔ပတ္သက္လုိ႔ ၂၀၀၇ ခုႏွစ္ ေအာက္တုိဘာလမွာ နယ္သာလန္ႏုိင္ငံ၊ အမ္စတာဒမ္ျမဳိ.မွာက်င္းပတဲ့ RIPE-55 ေဆြးေႏြးပြဲမွာ ပညာရွင္ေတြက သီခ်င္းတစ္ပုဒ္နဲ႔သူတုိ႔အျမင္ကုိ တင္ျပသြားပါတယ္။ သီခ်င္းရဲ့ေခါင္းစဥ္ကုိ "Router ေတြေသတဲ့ေန႔" လုိ႔ေပးထားပါတယ္။ မူလသီခ်င္းကေတာ့ "American Pie" ျဖစ္ျပီး ကၽြန္ေတာ္တုိ႔ငယ္ငယ္က ပေလးဘြဳိင္ကုိသန္းႏုိင္ရဲ့ "သီခ်င္းေသရင္လုိက္လုိ႔ေသမယ္" ဆုိတဲ့သီခ်င္းေပါ့ခင္ဗ်ာ။

ဒီသီခ်င္းရဲ့အဓိကေျပာခ်င္တဲ့အခ်က္ကေတာ့ IPv6 ကုိမေျပာင္းဘဲ IPv4 နဲ႔ေပကပ္သုံးေနတာ တစ္ေန႔မွာ IPv4 address ေတြကုန္သြားတဲ့အတြက္ေၾကာင့္ IPv6 ကုိမေျပာင္းတဲ့ Router ေတြေသကုန္တယ္လုိ႔ - ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။

သီခ်င္းကုိ ေရးဆုိထားသူကေတာ့ Gary Feldman ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။



ကၽြန္ေတာ္အႏွစ္သက္ဆုံးစာသားကေတာ့ -

"Saw a man with whom I used to peer
Asked him to rescue my career
He just sighed and turned away..

I went down to the net cafe
that I used to visit everyday
But the man there said I might as well just leave...

And now we've all lost our purpose..
my cisco shares completely worthless..."

စာသားအစအဆုံး

The Day The Routers Died by Gary Feldman

A long long time ago
i can still remember
when my laptop could connect elsewhere

and i tell you all there was a day
the network card i threw away
had a purpose - and worked for you and me....

But 18 years completely wasted
with each address we've aggregated
the tables overflowing
the traffic just stopped flowing....

And now we're bearing all the scars
and all my traceroutes showing stars...
the packets would travel faster in cars...
the day....the routers died

Chorus (ALL!!!!!)

So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we'd better give it a try
I suppose we'd better give it a try

Now did you write an RFC
That dictated how we all should be
Did we listen like we should that day

Now were you back at RIPE fifty-four
Where we heard the same things months before
And the people knew they'd have to change their ways....

And we - knew that all the ISPs
Could be - future proof for centuries

But that was then not now
Spent too much time playing WoW

ooh there was time we sat on IRC
Making jokes on how this day would be
Now there's no more use for TCP
The day the routers died...

Chorus (chime in now)

So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we'd better give it a try
I suppose we'd better give it a try

I remember those old days I mourn
Sitting in my room, downloading porn
Yeah that's how it used to be....

When the packets flowed from A to B
via routers that could talk IP
There was data..that could be exchanged between you and me....

Oh but - I could see you all ignore
The fact - we'd fill up IPv4

But we all lost the nerve
And we got what we deserved!

And while...we threw our network kit away
And wished we'd heard the things they say
Put all our lives in disarray

The day...the routers died...

Chorus (those silent will be shot)

So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we'd better give it a try
I suppose we'd better give it a try


Saw a man with whom I used to peer
Asked him to rescue my career
He just sighed and turned away..

I went down to the net cafe
that I used to visit everyday
But the man there said I might as well just leave...

And now we've all lost our purpose..
my cisco shares completely worthless...

No future meetings for me
At the Hotel Krasnapolsky

and the men that make us push and push
Like Geoff Huston and Randy Bush
Should've listened to what they told us....
The day...the routers....died

Chorus (time to lose your voice)

So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we'd better give it a try
I suppose we'd better give it a try
