Greetings Carlos and others,
What are folks' opinions on IPv6 address formatting within Netdot?
There are a variety of places where v6 address and netmasks appear. Do
we want to take a strict adherence to RFC 5952 recommendations?
There are a few places where there are inconsistencies. I'm willing to
help code up the fixes, but it would be nice to have some dialog
and/or consensus regarding our options.
A few of the places that IPv6 address and netmasks are showing up:
management/ip.html page
Netmask: FFFF:FFFF:FF00:0:0:0:0:0
Usable Addresses: 309485009821345068724781056 (2607:EA00:200:0:0:0:0:0
- 2607:EA00:2FF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF)
Address: 2607:ea00:200::/40
Should we include a configuration option such as:
IPV6_FORMAT_CASENESS => 'upper'
and allow the admin to set that formatting parameter? or just force
lowercase as is described in RFC 5952?
The addresses in the "Usable Addresses" field do not conform to the
RFC. Should we fix that?
The netmask field also does not conform to the RFC. Does the RFC apply
to netmasks? This is more of a consistency point than anything else,
but if we are going to make changes then perhaps talking about it now
is appropriate.
Feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
-m
