[Opensim-dev] IPv6

[Kyle Hamilton]

Even if we could just get the servers talking via IPv6 (bonus points
for allowing simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 addressing/connections) it
would be extremely useful.  (Among other things, it would allow the
developers to get experience in handling IPv6 in the limited world of
just OpenSim code.)

Is there a report on the places which are IPv4-dependent in the
protocols currently in-use in the core?  (This would also be an
excellent time to formalize the break between OpenSim and Linden
protocols.)
