How 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.

REALbasic 2007 FAQ | REALbasic 2007MemoryBlocks default to BigEndian on PowerPC and LittleEndian on Intel. Depending on your use of the MemoryBlock, you may need to explicitly set LittleEndian property on your MemoryBlocks object. In many cases no changes will be required.
Related QuestionsHow does BinaryStream code need to be modified to support Universal Binaries?
REALbasic 2007 FAQ | REALbasic 2007BinaryStreams default to BigEndian on PowerPC and LittleEndian on Intel. In many cases no changes will be required, but if you want consistent behavior when running your application on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs, you should explicitly set LittleEndian property on your BinaryStream object. In most cases, no, you do not. REALbasic classes should just work, unless they make use of MemoryBlocks and BinaryStreams. (See above.) If you are not sure, check with the developer of that class.

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 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 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 QuestionsRunning - 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 QuestionsIs there a BGP Protocol Module for IPv4 and another for IPv6?

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 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.
