It requires essentially rewriting the network layer of AFS, due to the number of places that assume IPv4 addresses, with corresponding changes all the way up the protocol stack for field lengths in various RPCs that hold IP addresses that would no longer be long enough. That's why normally IPv6 support is discussed in conjunction with implementing Rx over TCP, since that effort would require touching many of the same pieces of the code. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list OpenAFS-devel@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
