> Personally, I see IPv6 as one of several "modernization" requirements
In principle, the PVAccess protocol is prepared for IPv6.
For example, search replies have room for v6 addresses.
When I worked on the updated Java lib, I found a few places in the original Java code which comments like "current use of multicast
addresses works only with INET, not INET6".
So the channel for the UDP port is opened for INET, not INET6 protocol.
But I've never tried it with INET6, no idea what the specific issues would be.
Does anybody know?
Would an effort to support IPv6 consider updating Channel Access, or would we concentrate on PVAccess?
