Description Andrew Stitcher 2011-02-01 16:37:52 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently the qpid C++ libraries do not support running over IPv6 at all. Given the nearterm exhaustion of the IPv4 address space there will be increasing interest in running over IPv6, so we should make qpid work with IPv6.

Comment 1 Andrew Stitcher 2011-10-07 19:53:55 UTC
The work to enable IPv6 connections has been done upstream and should be available for C++/Python implementations from qpid 0.14

The caveats to this: SSL currently doesn't work over IPv6, The state of the java client is unknown - it will probably make connections over IPv6, but the reconnect logic may not be correct and it will currently not parse IPv6 literal addresses.

The windows c++ port should also work with IPv6.

Comment 5 Petra Svobodová 2012-02-07 10:24:39 UTC
C++ and C# clients on Windows support IPv6 addressing; tested on packages qpid-cpp-win-2.2.0.1-1.

Python clients and qpid-tools on Windows do not support IPv6 addressing yet; see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788040

Comment 6 Zdenek Kraus 2012-02-14 21:02:51 UTC
There are some issues, that we discovered with IPv6 functionality. Please check out Bug 790571 Bug 790570 Bug 790565 Bug 790562 Bug 790004 Bug 785195 and set/unset depends on as appropriate to pass this functionality.
