  • binkp dual stack

    From Benny Pedersen@2:230/0 to All on Wed Aug 15 01:13:50 2018
    Hello All!

    when ipv6 fails and ipv4 works on the same hostname, does binkp try both ips if
    one fails ?

    glibc on linux default to ipv6 first

    i just like to be sure it does


    Regards Benny

    It does, but there is a long wait before it switches to IPv4, in my experience.

    That's tuneable in your binkd.conf, and not specific to IPv6.

    # Delay of calls and outbound rescans in seconds
    #
    call-delay 1


    And possibly:

    #
    # TCP settings. Leave this unchanged if not sure.
    #
    # Suffixes for time intervals are w for weeks, d for days,
    # h for hours, m for minutes, s or no suffix for seconds.
    # You can mix the suffixes, i.e. 1d12h is the same as 36h.
    #
    ...
    #timeout 5m
    #connect-timeout 5m

    Thanks, I had a feeling it was. Just not a high priority for me. :)
