Kai Krueger:
tomorrow is world IPv6 day [1]. If I have read
correctly, Wikimedia is
intending to participate in the test day. I was wondering if that
extends to the toolserver as well and in particular to the tile server?
No. Most services except
http://toolserver.org are IPv6-enabled, but
it was only deployed a few days ago and I want to monitor it for a bit
before enabling it on the main site. Once this is done (probably a few
days) we will enable IPv6 permanently.
I suspect mod_tile should mostly be agnostic to which
IP version apache
uses, so hopefully it should just work in most cases.
In any case the internal communications will remain IPv4, because /tiles
is proxied via ZWS, which does not support IPv6.
Actually, I suppose there's no point sending /tiles via ZWS now -- it
makes more sense to do that at the front-end proxy instead of ZWS. I'll
have a look at changing that tomorrow.
However, I did add the bandwidth throttling code a
while back that is
definitely not IPv6 safe. It is used to limit the number of tiles a
single IP can download,
This won't work, for the same reason (all requests appear to come from
only two IPs).
