Sean, CMA currently does not support IPv6 addresses at all. Is that right?
This is correct. At best, there's some code in places to handle it.
However, while I don't have immediate need to make real IPv6 addressing to work, some applications (notably Java) always use AF_INET6 sockets for both IPv4 and IPv6 communications. (Applications that want to restrict their use of AF_INET6 socket to IPv6 communications only can set the IPV6_V6ONLY option). I suggest implementing the support for IPv6 mapped IPv4 addresses in CMA as a first step, with an eye towards full IPv6 support in the future. What do you think?
I agree that it needs to be added. What I lack at the moment is the time to do it. I don't think that it would be a huge effort to add proper support, so I'd rather not put in a temporary solution.
