accept ipv6 peers?

Question

accept ipv6 peers?

kylerchin opened this issue 8 years ago · 7 comments

if the clearnet goes down.... we can't resolve ipv4. and since we cant use domains and our ipv4 addresses keep changing, can we use ipv6 instead? why can't we ditch ipv4 peering? that way we can still peer with each other if the clearnet goes down.

i know that clearnet goes down is impossable, but many contries are cut off entirely by censorship. even my city has slow internet and my current project uses drones with OPEN-WRT / B.A.T.M.A.N. / CJDNS on them to communicate. so far it works. but we cant use ipv4 for that. we cant use ipv4 forever.

@kylerschin IPv6 peers are accepted in this repo, feel free to contribute any. There are also people on irc.fc00.io/#peering who are able to provide ipv6 peering.

ditching ipv4 peering still isn't an option with many ISPs. Some day soon, hopefully.

@kylerschin does irvinca-usa.k have IPv6? I have a ~150ms from Cali to Europe if you are interested we can peer.
