+TODO for IPv6 payload support
+-----------------------------
+
+1.) "--topology subnet" doesn't work together with IPv6 payload on FreeBSD
+ (verified for FreeBSD server, Linux/ifconfig client, problems
+ with ICMP6 neighbor solicitations from BSD not being answered by Linux)
+
+ * 2012-01-22 fixed in platform cleanup, commit 62c613d46dc495d74
+
+2.) NetBSD IPv6 support doesn't work
+ ("connected" route is not auto-created, "route-ipv6" adding fails)
+
+ * fixed, 3.1.10 *
+
+3.) route deletion for IPv6 routes is not yet done
+
+ * fixed for configured routes, 3.1.10 *
+ * missing for manual-ifconfig-connected (NetBSD, Darwin, Win32)
+
+ * 2012-06-10 - fixed somewhere in 2010
+
+4.) do "ifconfig tun0 inet6 unplumb" or "ifconfig tun0 destroy" for
+ Solaris, *BSD, ... at program termination time, to clean up leftovers
+ (unless tunnel persistance is desired).
+
+ For Solaris, only the "ipv6 tun0" is affected, for the *BSDs all tun0
+ stay around.
+
+ * 2012-06-10 - fixed in individual platform cleanups early-2012
+
+4a.) deconfigure IPv6 on tun interface on session termination, otherwise
+ one could end up with something like this (on NetBSD):
+
+tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
+ inet 10.9.0.18 -> 10.9.0.17 netmask 0xffffffff
+ inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fece:d299%tun0 -> prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
+ inet6 2001:608:4:eff::2000:3 -> prefixlen 64
+ inet6 2001:608:4:eff::1:3 -> prefixlen 64
+
+ (pool was changed, previous address still active on tun0, breakage)
+
+ * semi-fixed for NetBSD, 28.2.10, always do tun0 destroy / tun0 create
+ before actual ifconfig -- tunnel still lingers after OpenVPN quits
+
+ * 2011-09-16 fixed in platform cleanup, commit 8ca19c014c149cf69
+
+4b.) verify this - on FreeBSD, tun0 is auto-destroyed if created by
+ opening /dev/tun (and lingers if created by "ifconfig tun0 create")
+
+ -> use for persistant tunnels on not-linux?
+
+ * 2012-06-10 tun interface behaviour is documented in "man tun(4)"
+
+5.) add new option "ifconfig-ipv6-push"
+ (per-client static IPv6 assignment, -> radiusplugin, etc)
+
+ * implemented, 14.1.10 *
+
+6.) add new option "route-ipv6-gateway"
+
+ * 2012-06-09 - decided there is no current need (but fairly trivial)
+
+7.) add "full" gateway handling for IPv6 in route.c
+ (right now, the routes are just sent down the tun interface, if the
+ operating system in questions supports that, without care for the
+ gateway address - which does not work for gateways that are supposed
+ to point elsewhere. Also, it doesn't work for TAP interfaces.
+
+ * 2012-06-09 use "dev tun" for tun devices, "via $gateway" for tap
+ (and purposely do not support off-link routes)
+
+8.) full IPv6 support for TAP interfaces
+ (main issue should be routes+gateway - and testing :-) )
+
+ test 2010/09/24: TAP itself works on linux/ifconfig+iproute2, but
+ route-via-tap doesn't work at all (route points to "tap0" which fails)
+
+17:51:14.075412 fe:ab:6e:c5:53:71 > 33:33:ff:00:00:01, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 86: 2001:608:4:a053::1:0 > ff02::1:ff00:1: ICMP6, neighbor solicitation, who has 2001:608:4:a001::1, length 32
+
+ * 2012-06-09 missing gateway support implemented
+
+8a.)
+ how is iroute-via-tap supposed to work??
+
+ * 2012-06-10 - answer: not at all, OpenVPN doesn't do "iroute" in
+ tap mode - set up "route-ipv6" with gateway address = individual
+ client's tap0 address to get the per-client routes
+
+
+9.) verify that iroute-ipv6 and route-ipv6 interact in the same way as
+ documented for iroute/route:
+
+ A's subnet, OpenVPN must push this route to all clients
+ EXCEPT for A, since the subnet is already owned by A.
+ OpenVPN accomplishes this by not
+ not pushing a route to a client
+ if it matches one of the client's iroutes.
+
+10.) extend "ifconfig-ipv6" to handle specification of /netbits, pushing
+ of /netbits, and correctly ifconfig'ing this
+ (default, if not specified: /64)
+
+ * done * 2012-02-03
+
+11.) do not add ipv6-routes if tun-ipv6 is not set - complain instead
+
+ * done * 12.1.10
+
+12.) handle incoming [::] and [fe80:...] packets in tun-p2mp MULTI mode
+ (most likely those are DAD packets)
+ silently ignore DAD?
+ Or accept-and-forward iff (multicast && client2client)?
+ handle NS/NA
+
+13.) from Martin List-Petersen:
+
+ One thing, and I guess this requires modifications in
+ network-manager-openvpn: It also works, BUT ignores "push
+ route-ipv6-gateway" and "push route-ipv6 ...." (obviously routes pushed
+ from the server) entirely.
+
+14.) from ##openvpn-discussion:
+
+ new features should be #ifdef'ed
+
+ (check whether this is feasible at all)
+
+15.) IPv6 related environment variables
+
+ - document all of them in openvpn.8
+ - make sure that all existing IPv4 stuff has IPv6 counterparts
+
+16.) OpenBSD
+ - implement ifconfig/route for IPv6
+ - revert ifconfig/open_tun order to "normal" (separate commit!!!)
+ (openvpn-devel, Subject: OpenBSD)
+ - test
+
+ * 2012-02-05 platform cleanup, commit 82d4e12068774b0a6ca
+
+17.) client-option (Elwood)
+ - ignore-v6-push-options yes/no
+ - ignore-v6-route-push ("as for IPv4 routes")
+
+18.) fail-save? "what if 'ip -6 addr add' fails" -> fail, or fallback to v4?
+ (-> recomment setting "ignore-v6-push-options yes")
+
+19.) safety check: if connecting over IPv6 (v6 transport) and the pushed
+ route-ipv6 network encompasses the server IPv6 address, make sure
+ we at least log a warning (until we can fiddle with external routing
+ to make this work correctly).
+
+20.) show "route add" / "route delete" commands for IPv6 in log file
+ (we show the "ifconfig" commands, so why not the routes?)
+
+ 2010-08-07: this is a null-feature - it's already there, but with
+ different debug level (M_INFO vs. D_ROUTE) so user
+ didn't notice
+
+21.) enable ipv6-only server operations
+ - decouple ipv6 pool handling from ipv4 pool
+ - make sure Rest of OpenVPN doesn't assume "there will always be IPv4"
+
+22.) implement --learn-address for IPv6
+
+23.) FreeBSD 8 seems to require explicit setting of the "ifconfig" IPv6
+ route, while FreeBSD 6+7 don't --> more testing, and code fix
+
+ workaround for the time being: just add
+
+ server-ipv6 2001:608:4:a051::/64
+ route-ipv6 2001:608:4:a051::/64
+
+ to the config
+
+ (problem + workaround applies both to tun and tap style devices)
+
+ * 2012-06-09 - this got fixed in one of the platform cleanups
+
+
+
+
+TODO for IPv6 transport support
+-------------------------------
+
+[ Last updated: 2014-01-03. ]
+
+* All platforms:
+ o mgmt console: as currently passes straight in_addr_t bits around
+
+ o make possible to get AF from getaddrinfo() answer, ie allow openvpn to
+ use ipv4/6 if DNS returns A/AAAA without specifying protocol.
+ Hard: requires deep changes in initialization/calling logic
+ - Done by dual stack patches
+
+ o use AI_PASSIVE
+ - Done by dual stack patches
+
+ o the getaddr()/getaddr6() interface is not prepared for handling socktype
+ "tagging", currently I abuse the sockflags bits for getting the ai_socktype
+ downstream.
+ - Still done by flags, seems clean enough.
+
+ o implement comparison for mapped addesses: server in dual stack
+ listening IPv6 must permit incoming streams from allowed IPv4 peer,
+ currently you need to pass eg: --remote ffff::1.2.3.4
+ - OpenVPN will compare all address of a remote
+ but will still fail on mapped addresses
+
+* win32:
+ o find out about mapped addresses, as I can't make it work
+ with bound at ::1 and connect to 127.0.0.1
+ - Should be fixed by 8832c6c - "Implement listing on IPv4/IPv6 dual
+ socket on all platform"
+
