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: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
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.
