-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: 10-Jun-2012. ]
-
-* 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
-
- o use AI_PASSIVE
-
- o the getaddr()/getaddr6() interface is not prepared for handling socktype
- "tagging", currently I abuse the sockflags bits for getting the ai_socktype
- downstream.
-
- 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
-
-
-* 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
-
