Running - IPv6: How to make the IRCd listen on IPv4 addresses?
UnrealIrcd FAQCurrently, if you have compiled with IPv6 support, and you need to put IPv4 addresses in a special way at some places. This "annoying behavior" might be changed later, so you can use 192.168.0.1 etc again instead of the ::ffff:x.x.x.x stuff. This is currently under consideration. If you are on *BSD (eg: FreeBSD), have compiled with IPv6 ENABLED, and have something like:listen *:6667;and while it's listening on the IPv6 address(es) just fine, connecting to the IPv4 IP on 6667 does not work.
Related QuestionsWhat are the advantages of IPv6 over IPv4?
Innofone : FAQTrillions of times more addresses will make it a mathematical certainty that in the future there will be orders of magnitude more devices with IPv6 than IPv4. IPv6 is easier to configure. Neighbor discovery finds other IPv6 systems and stateless (and stateful) autoconfiguration enable more automated set up of systems. IPv6 is compatible with 3G wireless (near) broadband and has other features that support greater mobility.
Related QuestionsHow are IPv6 addresses determined?
IPv6 for Microsoft Windows: Frequently Asked QuestionsSite-local addresses are equivalent to private IPv4 addresses and are used within a single site of an organization. Site-local addresses have been deprecated by the Internet Engineering Task Force but current implementations of IPv6 can still use them. Link-local addresses are equivalent to IPv4-based Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) addresses used in current Microsoft operating systems and are used on a link.
Related QuestionsIs there a BGP Protocol Module for IPv4 and another for IPv6?
IP Infusion: Product FAQsNo, the way the RFCs are written, the IPv6 extensions are added directly to the BGP-4 Protocol Module. Therefore, IP Infusion provides a BGP-4+ Protocol Module that includes both IPv4 and IPv6 support. In the case of RIP and OSPF, separate protocol modules are provided for IPv4 and IPv6 support. Yes. The ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite (ARS) supports an IETF-compliant implementation of IS-IS for IPv6.
Related QuestionsHow does my existing Windows Sockets for IPv4 code need to be modified to support IPv6?
IPv6 for Microsoft Windows: Frequently Asked QuestionsThe Windows Platform SDK includes a tool called Checkv4.exe. Checkv4.exe scans source code files to identify code that needs to be changed to support IPv6. Checkv4 displays the line number and a message recommending how the code should be changed. Here is an example of Checkv4.exe output: test.c(35) : gethostbyname : use getaddrinfo instead test.c(40) : gethostbyaddr : use getnameinfo instead test.
Related QuestionsHow would an application choose between IPv6 and IPv4 in an environment supporting both protocols?
IPv6style:IPv6 FAQsWhen you consider both clients and servers to be IPv6 nodes, IPv6’s plug-and-play features are essentially the same for both. No matter how you look at it, it is a feature to automatically configure the necessary parameters for IP addresses and such used for IPv6 communications. In other words, IPv6’s plug-and-play feature (auto-configuration feature) provides the initial configuration parameters for a node.
Related QuestionsDo we need to give up using IPv4 to start using IPv6?
IPv6style:IPv6 FAQsNo, you don't. IPv6 can coexist with IPv4, although in rare cases, restriction may apply due to computer functionality or the way network is constructed. Your IPv6-enabled computer can usually speak IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. For example, Windows XP can conduct IPv4 and IPv6 communications at the same time. But you can have IPv4-only computers to talk with IPv6-only computers, without introducing some tricks like protocol translation (such as NAT-PT).
Related QuestionsWhy P:lines with IPv4 hosts are not working on IPv6 system?
IRCD FAQThe current implementation relies on IPv6 mapped IPv4 addresses. Some systems (OpenBSD) do not support this at all, some (NetBSD, FreeBSD) ship with such mapping disabled by default. Try sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0. The server is not listening, your configuration is probably wrong, check your P lines. If you are using the virtual host support, check the configuration. This is often the first reaction of somebody upgrading from an old version, such as 2.8.
Related QuestionsWhich RFCs do the protocol modules for OSPF, BGP, and RIP (IPv4 and IPv6) support?
IP Infusion: Product FAQsDetailed spec sheets are available for each of the protocol modules, as well as the ZebOS Network Services Module. See our products page on the Web site to download the PDF versions. Yes. It is the first commercially available package that fully supports OSPFv3, BGP-4+, and RIPng. Because of the modularity of the ARS, customers can deploy subsets of the protocol modules.

Related QuestionsHow does IPv6 solve the problem of IPv4 address exhaustion?
Internet Society (ISOC) - Education and Training - FAQ on IP...Simply by having a lot more address space to uniquely identify devices that are connected to the Internet. IPv4 has a theoretical maximum of about 4 billion addresses whereas IPv6 has an unthinkable theoretical maximum: about 340 trillion, trillion, trillion addresses. In actual use, IPv6 addresses are structured for routing and other purposes and as a result the number of addresses available is effectively less, but still extremely large.
Related QuestionsCan I apply now for IPv6 addresses which I will not use immediately?
FAQsIn general, IPv6 address space will only be allocated to organisations which are in a position to deploy an IPv6 infrastructure immediately and provide IPv6 services in the near future.
Related QuestionsIPv6 addresses are expressed in various length. Why?
IPv6style:IPv6 FAQsIPv6 address is expressed differently from IPv4 address. IPv6 address is 128bit. It is separated by ":" as separator to 16bit chunks, and each chunk is expressed in hexadecimal form. But we don't come across IPv6 addresses with a series of "0"s contained.
Related QuestionsHow do I know that I'm already running on IPv6?
CBN :.If you use Windows-based operating system, you may type ”ipconfig” at command prompt and you will see your IP Address. Should you have installed IPv6 support correctly, the command will display your IPv6 address, stacked with you IPv4 address. Then, you may visit the following websites to check whether you already are running on IPv6.

Internet Society (ISOC) - Education and Training - FAQ on IP...You will need to obtain new IPv6 addresses in addition to your existing IPv4 address blocks. IPv4 address space that you have today can still be used in a dual IPv4-IPv6 environment. The RIRs all have policies that make it straightforward for an ISP with IPv4 space to apply for and receive IPv6 address space. You should contact the RIR for your region or your ISP for more information on how to acquire IPv6 addresses.

Related QuestionsWhat is IPv6?
Internet2 @ Binghamton University: FAQInternet Protocol version 6, once referred to as IP Next Generation (IPng), is the next generation IP protocol. Its specifications was completed in 1997 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). IPv6 is designed to correct some of the shortcomings of IPv4 such as data security and maximum number of Internet addresses. IPv6 increases the address space from 32 to 128 bits and also supports quality of service (QoS) parameters for realtime audio and video.
Related QuestionsInnofone : FAQIPv6 stands for Internet Protocol version 6. IPv6 governs the addressing and routing of data through a network. IPv6 is intended to replace the IPv4 standard, whose limits on network addresses are beginning to restrict Internet growth and use, especially in China, India, and other heavily populated Asian countries]. But the new standard will improve service all around the globe; for example, by providing future cell phones and mobile devices with their own unique and permanent addresses.Related Questions
CBN :.IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF (The Internet Engineering Task Force; www.ietf.org) to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4").
