I'm hearing that IPv6 is supported by android, at least over the wifi interface, but I cannot do anything with IPv6 through the SDK at all. I am running Android 2.1 on an N1.
I can see that at the OS level, the wifi interface has a link local inet6 address: ufo:~ newton$ adb shell $ cat /proc/net/if_inet6 00000000000000000000000000000001 01 80 10 80 lo fe80000000000000022376fffe8d1e63 0c 40 20 80 eth0 ... although ifconfig does not show it: $ ifconfig eth0 eth0: ip 192.168.1.2 mask 255.255.255.0 flags [up broadcast running multicast] If in Java I call getInetAddresses on a java.net.NetworkInterface, I only get the inet4 address. As I'd expect from the above, I cannot connect via any Java APIs to another link local IPv6 host on the same wifi lan Depending on my approach I get "socket level is invalid", a bad socket options error, host unreachable, or timeouts. Has anyone seen this work or have any insight? thanks M. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
