[Bug 309402] Re: ipv6 support

 

eMTee: I think that *nix systems shouldn't be any problem. But I will
try it under Ubuntu to be 100% sure.

Tehnick: yes, conversions are simple. There is also IN6ADDR_SETV4MAPPED
function to simplify that. But I think that adding and removing
"::ffff:" prefix from IP addresses should be fine.

arne: you can connect to ipv4&6 in parallel but what would it be for in
real usage? Hybrid dual sockets allow connecting to both IP versions
without redudant code for separate sockets. But I must admit that b)
would be more consistent with ADC protocol which provides U6 (and
therefor listening on port different from U4) should be possible.

And when I mentioned ADC protocol. There is CTM command but it doesn't
specify whether <port> is for IPv4 or IPv6. It seems to be little
inconsistency - UDP ports can be different for each protocol, but TCP
port is only one (and nobody knows which protocol to use when I4 and I6
are both specified).

Title:
  ipv6 support

Status in DC++:
  Confirmed
Status in Linux DC++:
  Confirmed
Status in StrongDC++:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Support for ipv6 as data transport and for client <-> hub
  communication should be added. As it looks like the ADC protocol
  already has ipv6 support, that shouldn't require too much work.
