IPV6 Update...

Post by pbreed »

I just returned from the UNH inter-op Lab (IOL)
We passed the IPV6 ready phase II test suite without edits this time. (meaning we actually passed!)

This code is in a branch that has been converted from mixed C/C++ to pure C++
We still have to finish doing an install for this branch and to port a couple of the platforms to the C++ branch.

I'd expect a Alpha/Beta install of this around the end of the month.

This is a fully V4/V6 inter operable stack.
Example making a TCP connection....

IPADDR ip=AsciiToIP(buffer);
fd=connect(ip,0,80,10*TICKS_PER_SECOND);

IE this will work correctly if buffer is an ipv v4 address ie 10.1.1.23 or an ipv6 address FE80::1:2:3:4 etc....

Currently for IPV6 we support the auto-configuration, router RA DNS records and static DNS configuration.
We will be going back to get the full DHCPV6 IPV6 ready test done toward the middle of the year.

If you have questions or want to be involved with the inital release testing please submit a support request.
