Yes. > 2. Does it support setting of QoS flags? Yes. That's a socket option which you can set just as you would set it using C (at least under Unix, under Windows: no idea). > 3. Does it support tunneling of IPv6 on a IPv4 network? No. That's an OS's job. You could, of course, implement a 6in4-tunnel using TUN interfaces, completely in Python. But I don't think that's what you want to do. And, anyway, your host OS would need IPv6 support for this to work. I wouldn't know how you'd go about implementing this on Windows, though. > 4. If an IPv4 address is given, does it support this on a IPv6 network? Depends on the OS. If the OS supports 6to4, then Python does too (because an IPv4-Adress is simply mapped to an IPv6-Network with a certain notation, look up the documentation for the 2001::-network on Wikipedia, for example). If the OS doesn't, Python doesn't either. This is also an OS job, not a Python job. --- Heiko. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
