But I'm dead serious, Dave. I'm actually making my serious face right now.
Just looking at stuff I'm intimately familiar with, you're breaking:
- the IPv6 PEX code in Transmission, which assumes that if you call
connect on an IPv6 UDP socket, then getsockname will return
a currently usable IPv6 address;
- the IPv6 DHT code in Tranmission, which assumes that calling the same
sequence as above will return a host's currently preferred IPv6
address (Kademlia needs a bound socket, changing IPs per destination
breaks the algorithm);
- Matthieu's multipath Mosh, which puts the server's local IPv6
addresses on the wire.
Dave, let's please find a way to solve the renumbering problem in a way
that doesn't break applications.
