Line 1: Line 1:
 +====IPv6 Support====
 +As of 7/29/2002 EPIC fully supports IPv6 in server descriptions, server
 +connections, $[[connect function|connect]](), $[[listen]](), /[[DCC]]
 +[[dcc GET|GET]], Virtual Hostnames, $[[iptoname]]().
 +
 +====Server descriptions:====
 +Surround the ipv6 p-addr with square brackets: \\ /[[server]] [1:2::3]:...
 +
 +====Server connections:====
 +You can now connect to servers via IPv6!
 +
 +====Changed functions:====
 +$[[connect function|connect]](<host> <port> <family>) \\ where <family>
 +is "4", "6", "v4" or "v6" and <family> is optional.
 +
 +$[[listen]](<port> <family>) \\ where <family> is "4", "6", "v4" or "v6"
 +and <family> is optional.
 +
 +$[[iptoname]](<p-addr>) \\ Both IPv4 and IPv6 "p-addrs" (ie, A.B.C.D or
 +A::B:C) are now supported.
 +
 +====Virtual Hostnames:====
 +If the hostname that you choose as your virtual hostname has an IPv6
 +address, then that IPv6 address will be used as your virtual host if 
 +you connect to a server via IPv6.
 +
 +====DCC:====
 +/[[DCC]] [[dcc GET|GET]] \\ If you receive a DCC SEND handshake from someone
 +else and it uses an IPv6 hostname, you will be able to /DCC GET that file.
 +This is forward compatability. Nobody can do /DCC SEND via IPv6 yet.
