Migrating from IPv4 to IPv6

i suspect most of the things you will need to change will be covered somewhere in that list of docs. in the main, it boils down to changes wherever you manipulate IP addresses - so, you replace gethostbyname with getaddrinfo, sockaddr_in with sockaddr_storage (IIRC) and the like.

the 2.4.x versions of netperf are "ambidextrous" (ie will work for both IPv4 and IPv6) and you can look at them for examples if you like www.netperf.org (ignore the old nettest_ipv6.c stuff, its functionality is absorbed into nettest_bsd.c...)
