Even if there was a -compact mode, v6 addresses still would eat up thrice the memory, v4 addresses take. This, however, wouldn't be a show stopper. - -Other problems concern efficient peer selection for obviously v6-capable peers and how to select peers for non-v6 clients. v6 addresses eat up more memory on the -host, too ;) +IPv6 is implemented in opentracker now. You can chose whether your tracker runs in v4 or v6 mode in Makefile. YMMV. -- cgit v1.2.3
