IPv6 support?

Open baryluk opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

It is unclear from the product website and the documentation if the IPv6 is supported.

A quick glance at the code it appreas that only IPv4 is supported.

Are there plans to rectify this and support IPv6, IGMP, and other IPv6 related infrastructure stack (ND, RD)?

You can use IPv6 with ExaNICs through the normal kernel stack, but the exasock acceleration stack only supports IPv4. There are no plans to support IPv6 in exasock, honestly I've never heard of anyone wanting to use IPv6 in a low latency context before, the header is twice as long as an IPv4 header. Do you have a use case in mind?
