Yeah, thanks. But i would like to know more detailed. When we build the OS, we can specify the kernel config file to build against. The "CONFIG_IPV6" is one item in the kernel config file and if it is set, something may read this file and adds/builds an IPv6 module containing the lower layer support for IPv6 connectivity. I would like to know what is doing this and what module(s) are added in order to design a full-functional IPv6 DNS for android.
Yes, my goal is to design a full-functional IPv6 DNS for android platform.
