[Caml-list] ipv6, any news?

[Yaron M. Minsky]

I'm wondering if there's any news on the ipv6 front.  I understand that
3.07 has no support in it.  I've been getting some complaints from users
of my software looking for IPv6, and I'm wondering what other people are
doing to provide such support.

No IPv6 support yet.  It would be a worthwhile addition, but I admit
to have no familiarity with the IPv6 API.  I got the impression that there
are some variations on the IPv6 API among Unix systems, which would be
a pain, but I may be wrong.

Back in 1997 or so, Francis Dupont wrote a layer of C to interface IPv6 
calls to Caml. IIRC, the OCaml API was mostly unchanged (compared to 
usual Unix network API), and hence a few of the network apps we had in 
those days (especially MMM and the V6 proxy) were then used 
(essentially as-is) in IPv6 interoperability tests on FreeBSD.
Maybe Francis still has some code in a drawer : 
Francis.Dupont@enst-bretagne.fr
Otherwise, http://www.google.com/search?q=mmm+ipv6&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8  
might get you enough pieces to put it back together...

Hello,

I've make some works this summer, trying to respect basic sockets RFC.
It's based on Unix module from ocaml-3.06.

http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~henry/ip6/socket6-20031020.tgz

it's early works, but feedbacks would be nice.

Basic API is now a standard, and i've test on FreeBSD and Linux.
Indeed, i can see some differences in constant for socket options
and DNS request :
some are not defined on linux.

hope it helps

I did some of this too : http://oandrieu.nerim.net/ocaml/#ipv6 .

I noticed you used a inet6_addr type for addresses. It's possible to
reuse the inet_addr type and have the C code discriminate between the
two by the string length. That way the sockaddr type wouldn't need to
be extended. But then you can't specify the flowinfo field (and I
don't know how to support it in this case).
