Category: 24. Channel Commands Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 9 Private: No Submitted By: Jeremy Gibson (silpheed) Assigned to: Andreas Kupries (andreas_kupries) Summary: Wanted: IPv6 Initial Comment: I work on some government-related code and we have a mandate to convert to IPv6 this next coming year. I was wondering if IPv6 could make it into 8.6 ??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Christoph (cero) Date: 2009-06-08 21:09 Message: Is there anyting new about IPv6 implementation to core tcl? I've seen a patch #713194 for that! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Alexandre Ferrieux (ferrieux) Date: 2008-09-24 00:19 Message: In the meantime to this implementation, what about [open |netcat6 r+] ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dennis Solari (dsolari) Date: 2008-09-23 23:08 Message: Needed IPv6: The client side is being requested by many of our customers since they are converting/converted to IP6. As an ISV using tcl we need to support it or convert to a different language. So why not release the client support in 8.6 even if the server support will not be ready or agreed to...? Using tcl socket calls as a client would meet our requirements for now from customers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Donal K.

Fellows (dkf) Date: 2007-08-31 15:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=79902 Originator: NO IPv6 client sockets look to be fairly straight-forward on Unix (all changes localized to tclUnixChan.c) but I'm less sure about server sockets. How practical is it to have a single socket listening for connects on both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets? (Thankfully, they both share the same port-space, so at least *that* won't get in our way!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeremy Gibson (silpheed) Date: 2007-08-30 19:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=963204 Originator: YES Of course if it made it as a patch into 8.5, that would be very nice. And to clarify, the mandate is from OMB for government networks and apps to IPv6 compliant by sometime next year. (Can't remember the specific date.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=360894&aid=1782896&group_id=10894 |
