    FOOD FOR THOUGHT =================================================================

    If we were eyeless we'd be unaware of colour. What if we're missing
    some part of reality because we don't have the organ to detect it?

    DS-Lite emulation experiment v2.0
    By Michiel van der Vlist (2:280/5555)


    Earlier this year, in May, I performed two experiments that simulated
    running my Fidonet node on a DS-Lite connection. One experiment
    lasted seven hours, the other 24 hours. I reported about these
    experiments in Fidonews 34:20.

    I now plan on running an experiment for a full week. From Friday
    1st of September 12:00 UTC to Friday 8 September 12:00 UTC.

    During this period my Fidonet node will only answer incoming calls
    via IPv6. It will not answer on IPv4. The A record associated with fido.vlist.eu will be removed and I will fly the INO4 flag in the
    nodelist. To maintain contact with IPv4 only nodes I will poll all
    IPv4 only nodes for which I have a session password every 30 minutes.
    IPv4 only nodes that do not have a password protected link with my
    system should use routed mail.

    If it is inconvenient for you that my system polls every 30 minutes
    between 1 September an 8 September, please let me know, so that we
    can make other arrangements.

    Of course the "nice" way to deal with the situation is to install
    IPv6...

    Remarks:

    f Has a ::f1d0:<zone>:<net>:<node> style host address
    IO Incoming only (Node can not make outgoing IPv6 calls)
    OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls)
    INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls)
    PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
    but is configured to try IPv4 first)
    6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
    DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
    PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
    capability but is not yet listed in the Fidonet nodelist.


    Notes:

    To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
    one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
    node config). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
    (2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.
