cfp p2p - 2015-09-11

settings.json 2015-09-11 release

"ipv6-listen": false,

default is false

Set to true may or may not improve transfer speeds.
There must be IPv6 connection capability and set
"ipv6-enabled": true,

"dht-dat-ipv6-forced": false,

default is false

Set true to force saving IPv6 DHT nodes. Might help DHT bootstrap.
Useful when ipv4 has been completely disabled for peers.
ipv4 for peers can be disabled by using a blocklist like this:
block ALL x:0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255

which blocks all ipv4 addresses.

Hi, I have my transmission configured to only use IPv6 via:

"bind-address-ipv4": "127.0.0.1", "bind-address-ipv6": "2001:0db8::1",

Normal operation is save dat if ipv4 nodes are ready.
dht-dat-ipv6-forced changes that preference.

There must be IPv6 connection capability and
"dht-enabled": true,
"ipv6-enabled": true,

Thx for the update
"ipv6-listen": false -- Is this an added feature or just a new switch? If it's a switch, does previous version listen to the ipv6 interface?

It is an added feature. Previous version did not,
so previous version would be equivalently
"ipv6-listen": false,

I had seen reports that portforward IPv6 degraded transfer speeds. Portforward may not be situated for the connection http://forum.utorrent.com/topic/87637-portforwarding-with-ipv6/#entry475816 That is why I did not have it previously. But I decided to have the switch for those who want to try it for themselves and for different IPv6 connection.

Although still possible, the large addressing space of IPv6 obviates the need to conserve addresses and every device can be given a unique globally routable address.

  "dht-enabled": true, and "ipv6-enabled": true, good count of ipv6 peer
  sameness as "ipv6-listen": false, or "ipv6-listen": true,
  streamed torrent same 2,5MB speed down, up 450 KB averaged
  keep remain to settings.json "ipv6-listen": false, I place best for me
  happy with control of setting ;>)
