Tor should support both styles of networking API. + In particular, if binding to all IPv6 addresses fails, relays should still + try to discover their public IPv6 address, and check the reachability of + that address. Some OSes may not support the IPV6_V6ONLY flag, but they may + instead bind to all addresses at runtime. (The tor install may also have + compile-time / runtime flag mismatches.) + If both reachability checks succeed, relays should publish their IPv4 and IPv6 ORPorts in their descriptor. |
