Most OSes have been shipping with IPv6 installed since 1999 and enabled since 2003 (I just made those years up). I think it would be more surprising to people if they could see on the command line that IPv6 was enabled but libzmq wasn't allow connections to IPv6 endpoints. If they don't want the library to load that feature, they can disable it. cr _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
