Project Name: IPv6 Connectivity for Infrastructure
Target Audience: IPv6-capable users
Expiration/Delivery Date (required): 12/31/2009

Description/Summary: Fedora Infrastructure services are not reachable via IPv6. This plan allows FI to serve both IPv4 and IPv6 users.

Project plan (Detailed):

Discover and use native IPv6 connectivity if offered in each of our data centers.
1. Telia is reported to have it
2. Options: 6to4 gateway server, or 6to4 on each public-facing (static IP) server.
Convert services one by one to serve IPv6 natively.
1. Proxy Servers
2. MirrorManager

Goals:

publictest instance in PHX for the 6to4 gateway and/or a proxy server which itself uses 6to4.

PHX - unknown
PHX2 - hardware capable, but native routing not configured, and no plans to enable.
telia - native IPv6 available, need address space delegations
tummy - none available. Request filed with Kevin Fenzi.
serverbeach - none available.
ibiblio - native IPv6 available, dynamic addresses assigned on ibiblio1 and its guests already.
BU - unknown
osuosl - planned by "end of summer". Check back in a few months.

As ibiblio already has IPv6 connectivity, these are the servers and their apps that could be easily enabled.

proxy4 (therefore web apps behind it)

- however, our current tracker, bittorrent-4.4.0-5.el5 does not support IPv6
- opentracker does. This is not packaged in Fedora yet, but the license is beerware so could be.
