Welcome to CyberSpatiale

DNS, DHCP and IPAM (DDI) Planning, Management and Monitoring (PMM) provides end users (e.g. CIOs, system architects, network engineers, system administrators, security engineers. application developers) a specific and discrete view, once designed, of their own IPv6 connectivity, both within their enterprise, and across the IPv6 Internet. DDI PMM significantly facilitates the design function of IPv6 Address planning and implementation in accordance with industry best practices and IETF lessons learned derived by two IPv6 leaders in the greater IPv6 community known for their accomplishments.

IPAM (IP Address Management) is the first function to be used to create the IPv6 network protocol topology (in a virtual environment for planning purposes). Given the significant difference between the legacy IPv4 addressing and connectivity, and the 128 bit hexadecimal hierarchical aggregate of IPv6, the next essential requirement for a robust DNS and DHCP architecture is clearly made. This unfortunately is brought home by the variety of large enterprises today that have relied on casual IPv4 life extensions and hosting resolutions by hard coded IP address, ignoring the use of DNS and DHCP.

Essential components of this topology include the addressing structure, and the physical locations of DNS and DHCP (in a Microsoft environment, this should also contain the Active Directory Domain Controllers). In order for the routers servicing the hosts IPv6 addressing needs per segment, the DNS and DHCP servers must be identified for the router to pass on the location information to the host.
