[Olsr-dev] plugins and ipv6

[Aaron Kaplan]

John,

IMHO the direction should be to be completely multi stack (listen on  
both v4 and v6) capable
but also configurable. Like apache.
You know that there is a bounty for making olsrd v6/v4 multistack  
capable?

c.f. http://olsr.funkfeuer.at and https://wiki.funkfeuer.at:443/ 
index.php/OLSR-NG

all the best,
a.
