Summary: Should block IPv6 addresses at /64 instead of /128
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Blocking
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: w...@konsoletek.com
The current "design" for an IP block (in IPv4 and MediaWiki) is to block that
specific IP. Problem is that IPv6 is much bigger. The recommendation is
currently to issue a /64 for everything, even for a Point-to-point link. So in
the case of IPv6, blocking the /128 is effectively pointless. The default when
handling IPv6 addresses probably should be to block the /64.
