I wouldn't worry as much about running with no IPV4 support as I would about running dual stack at the moment. Very soon there will be devices that have no IPV4 address, but any device that already has an IPV4 address is likely to keep it. The problem will most likely be new users that cannot connect because they cannot get an IPV4 address.
Asia Pacific is already out of IPV4 addresses. Asia Pacific includes India, China, Australia, and Japan among many other places. Europe is expected to run out of IPV4 addresses sometime in August. US and Canada are expected to run out within 2 years of now. jm7 |------------> | From: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Bernd Machenschalk <[email protected]> | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | To: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |<[email protected]> | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Date: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |04/06/2012 01:18 PM | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Subject: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Re: [boinc_dev] IPV6 support? | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Sent by: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |<[email protected]> | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Did anyone ever try to run a BOINC server in a clean IPv6 environment? IPv4 addresses are used in a number of places in the server code, I suspect a couple of things going wrong when that info is missing or inconsistent.

The question is if the precompiled libcurl we ship with the BOINC binaries for the various platforms has IPv6 enabled; I vaguely remember it did differ between platforms. > > In the BOINC packages shipped by Linux distributions, which use the system's libcurl, this is a non-issue. > > -- > Nicolás > _______________________________________________ > boinc_dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev > To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and > (near bottom of page) enter your email address. > _______________________________________________ > boinc_dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev > To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and > (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
