Hi, I’m trying to parse and alter AAAA (IPv6) DNS responses with POX, but I get the following error: ��B�)'packet:(dns) parsing answers: Bad address format
The error stems from around line 398 in addresses.py. At that point in the execution, my IPv6 address (converted to hex from binary) is 20010db8000000000000ff0000428329, which is correct. However, it appears that POX is attempting to split, based on colons, but these shouldn’t be in the binary representation of the IP -- (isinstance(addr, bytes) and not raw) is True. I’ve attempted to alter addresses.py change addr from bytes to a IPv6 string separated by colons (2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:ff00:0042:8329), but I only break things later down the line (dns.py for me). I also see nothing irregular with the OpenFlow traffic to the controller. My current setup: POX - 0.2.0 (carp) - l3_learning (also shows parsing error as above) Mininet with custom topology BIND9 - the entry in question looks like "server1 IN AAAA 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329”. Wireshark shows nothing wrong with the DNS request/response. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Curtis
