-
-[[Stefan_Siegl|stesie]] has added IPv6 support to the pfinet [[translator]].
-This was [Savannah task #5470](http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5470).
-
-
-# Implementation
-
-Because the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are
-quite related to each other (think of mapped IPv4 addresses, etc.), there is no
-separate [[server|translator]] for IPv6 but support for the latter has been
-incorporated into the common pfinet. Unfortunately it's a little bit clumsy
-now to set the [[translator]] up, since it has to be bound to
-*/servers/socket/2* (like before) as well as */servers/socket/26* (for IPv6).
-
-To achieve this, you can tell pfinet to install [[active_translators|active]]
-on specified nodes, using **-4** and **-6** options. This is, you have to
-install a [[passive_translator|passive]] on */servers/socket/2* that also binds
-the IPv6 port and vice versa.
-
-
-# Examples
-
-Normal IPv4 network setup, address 192.168.7.23/24 and gateway 192.168.7.1.
-IPv6 address shall be assigned using IPv6 auto-configuration.
-
- settrans -fgp /servers/socket/2 ↩
- /hurd/pfinet -6 /servers/socket/26 ↩
- -i eth0 -a 192.168.7.23 -m 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.7.1
- settrans -fgp /servers/socket/26 ↩
- /hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2 ↩
- -i eth0 -a 192.168.7.23 -m 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.7.1
-
-Quite the same, but with static IPv6 address assignment:
-
- settrans -fgp /servers/socket/2 ↩
- /hurd/pfinet -6 /servers/socket/26 ↩
- -i eth0 -a 192.168.7.23 -m 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.7.1 ↩

- settrans -fgp /servers/socket/26 ↩
- /hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2 ↩

-# Missing Functionality
-
-Amongst other things, support for [[IOCTL]]s is missing.
