Review of IPv6 Support in IPv6 version 0.3

Chuck Lever comments (2005/03/22):

Not only versions 2 and 3 of the portmpapper have to be tried but every versions (4, 3, then 2) have to be tried on each bind.


Neil Brown comments (2005/03/22):

Using "method 1" for the server sounds right.
It is possible to have one socket bound so that it receives all IP4 packets/connections to a particular port, and another socket bound to receive all the IPv6 packets/connections? If so, this might make the code selection even easier.
Answer: We will use 2 separate sockets (IPv4 and IPv6)

Re: issues with the format of rmtab, I would simply ignore it. rmtab is not needed any more, and declaring it unsupported for IPv6 would be a very sensible thing to do.
Answer: We'll ignore rmtab for IPv6.
