Project Info

Project Name: IPv6 Connectivity for Infrastructure
Target Audience: IPv6-capable users
Expiration/Delivery Date (required): 12/31/2009

Description/Summary: Fedora Infrastructure services are not reachable via IPv6. This plan allows FI to serve both IPv4 and IPv6 users.


Project plan (Detailed):

  1. Discover and use native IPv6 connectivity if offered in each of our data centers.
    1. Telia is reported to have it, but only for BGP customers (e.g. no us.)
    2. Options: 6to4 gateway server, or 6to4 on each public-facing (static IP) server.
  2. Convert services one by one to serve IPv6 natively.
    1. Proxy Servers
    2. MirrorManager


Goals:


Specific resources needed

  • publictest instance in PHX for the 6to4 gateway and/or a proxy server which itself uses 6to4.


IPv6 Capabilities by Data Center

  • PHX - unknown
  • PHX2 - hardware capable, but native routing not configured, and no plans to enable.
  • telia - native IPv6 available, but only to BGP customers. We don't rate. :-(
  • tummy - none available. Request filed with Kevin Fenzi.
  • serverbeach - none available.
  • ibiblio - native IPv6 available, dynamic addresses assigned on ibiblio1 and its guests already. Static IP range declared by us, using ::fed0:* for host address part.
  • BU - not available yet, but testing will begin Spring 2010 with plans for production use by Fall 2010.
  • osuosl - planned by "end of summer". Check back in a few months.

Potential IPv6 services given DC capabilities

As ibiblio already has IPv6 connectivity, these are the servers and their apps that could be easily enabled.

  • proxy4 (therefore web apps behind it)
    • mostly set up in ~mdomsch/puppet ipv6 branch
    • need another IPv6 address (not stateless autoconf) for proxy4-2, then fix manifests/servergroups/proxy.pp so the v4 and v6 addresses for all the proxy4-2 match.
    • also modules/httpd/files/00-namevirtualhost.conf
  • torrent1
    • however, our current tracker, bittorrent-4.4.0-5.el5 does not support IPv6
    • opentracker does. This is not packaged in Fedora yet, but the license is beerware so could be.
  • ns2 (DNS)
  • publictest[1234]

TODO

  • branch libowfat for EL-5 (done), build it, and build opentracker.
  • add GLUE record to NS2 with Network Solutions (domain registrar) for each domain (as needed)
  • add separate MaxMind IPv6 database to monthly download script, and to MM. Without this, MM can't do any geoip lookups. (done)
