Since we, collectively, are steering one of the industries driving up individual utilization of the IPV4 address space as well as being one of the most sensitive to NAT which is the only way through which IPV4 has been sustained as long as it has; it seems like a worthy exercise to discuss our own, and the industries preparedness to adopt IPV6.
Has anyone out there had any experience using any of the open source platforms (OpenSIPS, Asterisk, SIPPY etc) with native IPV6? It seems like these projects are the best equipped right now to handle this move since they rely heavily on the network stack of the underlying OS. Kamailio/OpenSER handles IPv6 properly, but Asterisk currently does not have any support for IPv6. There has been some work by March Blanchet from ViaGenie, but it is not up to date and not integrated into the trunk version of Asterisk.
Something that bothers me is the lack of configurations for "IPv6 default gateways" in all IPv4 based products. Even though Asterisk is only IPv4, we might still get IPv6 addresses in many cases - SRV records, Contact headers and REFER targets. In order to handle these - or the reverse case "IPv4 default gateway" - we need configuration options and logic for it. Yes, this is an important issue. So far, it seems like no one wants to put any money towards it so we can fix Asterisk. Open Source projects are in hand of the user base and their requirements. Regards, /O
