Description:	There is only documentation for IPv6 based ACLs, but not how to configure, what you can do and what we don't support. This needs to be documented clearly. Questions like these needs to be answered: - Can I bind to multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses? - Can I define both an IPv4 and IPv6 address for a device? - How does Asterisk handle the case of dual records (a/aaaa) in host name lookups? - How does Asterisk handle SRV records with hosts that only has IPv4 or IPv6 in different preferences? - Does STUN support IPv6? - Can I specify externIP both for IPv4 and IPv6?

By: Simon Perreault (sperreault) 2010-08-03 11:35:05 Committed in r280706. (Am I supposed to be able to close this bug?) By: Paul Belanger (pabelanger) 2010-08-03 11:56:33 svnbot will do it automatically, if you commit message is formatted properly. For example: --- Update documentation for IPv6 and SIP.

So to close this issue, what should I do? I only see a "Delete Issue" button... By: Leif Madsen (lmadsen) 2010-08-03 14:30:04 Just below "Users Monitoring This Issue" and "Notes" you'll see "Commit Issue Template". You can click on the + button which will allow you to build the commit template that would close this issue with svnbot. Then modify your commit message to include that template at the end of the commit message, and this issue should be closed automatically.

Tried udpbindaddr=:: but no luck <kpfleming> did you actually try contacting it over IPv4, or are you assuming that from netstat (or similar) output? <pabelanger> kpfleming: yes, looking at netstat <kpfleming> that is probably misleading <pabelanger> Hmm <pabelanger> let me fire up a call <kpfleming> it only opens a single socket, but the socket accepts both IPv4 and IPv6 packets <pabelanger> I was not aware that was possible...  Is there a benefit to only opening one socket? <kpfleming> yes... the code only supports one socket :-) <pabelanger> hehe <kpfleming> changing chan_sip to support multiple UDP sockets is a huge job <kpfleming> so it accepts IPv4 connections on that socket, and the addresses appear in chan-sip as IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses <pabelanger> Ok, thanks for the explanation.  Will see about documenting that some where, in-case people do the same thing I just did via netstat <pabelanger> IPv4 worked btw By: Russell Bryant (russell) 2010-08-10 16:20:12 This got resolved.
