  • Peering and IPv6?

    Hello, curious about whether peering can be IPv6 these days
    or basically whether INND is IPv6 aware/agnostic, or
    whether INND and other cousins absolutely require IPv4 peers.

    I was under the impression that IPv4 IP addresses are required,
    yet I'd like to hear that IPv6 addresses are allowed.
