Marc,

Can we start backwards and write coding guidelines, like
"don't use strings like ip:port with a colon, since a colon is a significant
character in IPv6 addresses"

"size the IP address string for IPv6, size being..."

Also, we need to consider some architecture changes to be able to proxy
from IPv6 to IPv4. How will this affect IAX, SIP and H.323?

Maybe it's time to start a Wiki page named "the Asterisk IPv6 project"
so we can start collecting information, creating guidelines.

For the project: Marc has very good knowledge on IPv6 and is well-known
in IPv6 circles. I was very happy to see him at Astricon, myself being one that
has been asking about IPv6 and Asterisk many times. We need to listen to
Marc. IPv6 is big in Asia and Asterisk needs to run on those networks as
well .

------

This project will be a good addition to our project list
* The Asterisk FreeBSD project
* The Asterisk Documentation Project
* The Asterisk Solaris project
* The Asterisk SS7 project
* The Asterisk testing project

As a side note, we might to create a project page listing these.
Did I miss a project?
