• IPv6 only node?

    From Michiel van der Vlist@1:2320/100 to Tommi Koivula on Tue Apr 25 00:51:56 2017
    Hello Tommi,

    Interesting...

    ,10,Internet,Finland,UUCP,-Unpublished-,9600,CM,XA,IBN,INA: [2001:470:1f15:cb0:f1d0:2:221:10],GUUCP,U,ENC

    A literal IPv6 address. And ONLY an IPv6 address. So this node is not reachable

    via IPv4 and therefore should carry the INO4 flag. Don't you agree?


    Cheers, Michiel

    Correct.

    But how many mailers can understand INO4 flag?

    I don't: INO4 makes some sense only with DNS names.

    I don't know. Some mailers like Frontdoor and Intermail have the option of user

    configurable flags. When I still used InterMail, I could configure it to never call out to nodes flying the INO4 flag. In the case of INO4 only usefull in combination with a shim to let it do EMSI over telnet. Maybe MBSE can deal with

    it. I do not know.

    Of course if the nodelist does not show the flag, mailer builders will have no reason to implement it in their software. Chicken and egg...

    Plus that mailers are not the only ones reading the nodelist. The nodelist statistics as published every week in Fidonews, include the INO4 flag. The nodelist lookup function of Golded also displays it.

    I disagree. "Dumb mailers" will try to keep connecting as explained in the justification for the flag in FRL1038.001 section 2.

    Binkd when on an IPv4 connection, will keep trying to connect to 2:221/10 until

    the sysop or other software intervenes. Binkd is not smart enough to realize that 221/10 is an IPv6 only node and that it can never connect via an IPv4 only

    connection. The INO4 flag is still usefull in this case as it allows more intelligent agents to avoid or remdy the above situation.

    I would like to disagree with you, that Binkd keeps on trying a IPv4
    connection if only an IPv6 address is available.

    Moreover, Binkd has no knowledge of the Nodelist. It is the task of the
    intermediate software, that converts te Nodelist to Binkd's version to
    translate the INO4 to a "-6", or to exclude the node if the list is
    prepared for a ipv4 only node.

    Maybe I expressed myself poorly. It does indeed not try to connect via IPv4. But it does try to connect. Or at least initiate an attempt to connect. It keeps on doing that every minute until the max nr of failed connections is reached. Then it puts the mail on hold for some time and when that time has elapsed, it goes on trying again. Ad nauseum..

    Moreover, Binkd has no knowledge of the Nodelist. It is the task of
    the intermediate software, that converts te Nodelist to Binkd's
    version to translate the INO4 to a "-6", or to exclude the node if the list is prepared for a ipv4 only node.

    That is more or less what I meant by:

    MvdV>> The INO4 flag is still usefull in this case as it allows more

    Higher level sofware can use the INO4 flag to see that binkd never even tries. By either putting the mail on Hold, so that the other side can come pick it up,

    or by seeing that mail for the node in question is routed and not send direct. Of course the IN4 flag can also be of use to the human overseeing it all...

    MBSE does not have any specific support for the INO4 flag. In the case of a literal IPv6 address listed in the INA flag, it should attempt to dial using that IPv6 address. If that fails, the node will end up marked undialable after the configured number of attempts.

    Of course if the nodelist does not show the flag, mailer builders will have no reason to implement it in their software. Chicken and egg...

    MBSE's current implementation really doesn't need to use the INO4 flag. It gets address information from the nodelist, or can be overridden by entering a hostname or IP address for the node in the setup program. In the case of a hostname, it is looked up in DNS and a list is built of any AAAA and A records that are returned. Then each entry in the list is tried until a successful session occurs, or the list is exhausted.

    Plus that mailers are not the only ones reading the nodelist. The
    nodelist statistics as published every week in Fidonews, include the

    The primary purpose of the nodelist is to allow nodes to communicate with each other.

    If it is on an IPv4 only connection, attempting to connect via IPv6 will surely

    fail. It could use the INO4 flag to decide to not even try...

    And decide to route the mail instead or put it on Hold for the other party to pick up.

    Any decent software allows for overrides. The nodelist is for making connections without previous arrangements.

    True. But it is not the only purpose and for the secondary purposes, the INO4 flag can be useful.

    Every mailer could be configured per node. But my point was if there is a mailer that can understand the INO4 flag and try connection only by IPv6. Without any custom configuration.

    No worries! The next version will support the INO4 flag ;)

    Still there's the question about listing only an IPv6 address with or without the INO4 flag. INO4 would be redundant, but it would simplify the software side.

    Hmmm... I think you misunderstand the reasoning behind the INO4 flag. It is not

    meant (although it /may/ probably be used for that) to let mailers connect via IPv6 only. IPv6 capable mailetrs will not have to be told explicitly to connect

    only via IPv6 when only an IPv6 address is available. They will do that all by themselves.

    No, it is different. Strictly speaking -the INO4 flag is about IPv4. It means that the node in question does NOT have incoming IPv4 capability. It so happens

    that this implies IPv6 only, but that is only because presently we only have IPv4 and IPv6. That may change with te coming of IPv7...

    Anyway, the main idea behind the INO4 flag is to prevent mailers from fruitlessly trying to connect via an IPv4 only connection.

    With intermail for example I could use:

    Hold INO4, !CM, 300

    To tell it to put mail on hold for nodes carrying the INO4 flag, not carrying the CM flag and a maximum speed of 300. InterMail knows nothing about IPv4 or IPv6 but it can be told to recognise the INO4 flag and act upon it.

    Or I could tell it the following.

    Host-Route INO4.

    I think that speaks for itself.

    I agree with Alexey, if there is ipv6 address in the nodelist, the
    INO4 flag is useless.

    You are only looking at IPv6 capable mailers in your considerations. But what about Netmail routers/trackers and other software? Netmail routers do not know about IPv6, They do not recognsies IPv6 addresess. But they can be trained to act on the INO4 flag. I already menationed "Host-Route INO4". That actaully is a router directive, not a mailer directive.

    OT-Ttrack can act on nodelist flags. From the doc:

    /IfFlags="data;data;...;data"

    The command (e.g. ATTR or SENDER) will only apply
    on messages, where the DESTINATION address matches
    "data" in the current nodelist(s). (Note: "data" OR
    "data" OR "data"!!!)
    A useful example for this: You want to route all
    messages but those addressed to nodes with either
    the ENC of the NEC flag. If a message is destined
    to an ENC *or* NEC node, you want to send it
    directly.

    This would apply to the INO4 flag as well.

    Think out of the box...

    2:221/10 is up now and binkp.net resolves it ok.

    Using binkp.net by the mailer comes down to feeding it a url instead of a literal IPv6 address. The mailer is poresented with the url fx.ny.zz.binkp.net.

    The mailer does not know in advance that only an IPv6 address will retuern. Just the same as with fido6.ddutch.nl. So if the INO4 flag is useful when the nodelist contains a url, it is also useful for those using binkp.net and a literal address in the nodelist.

    You can frequest v1.08 (magic "NL2BINKD") ;)

    If the INO4 flag is detected the node option -6 will be set. I've also added a new command switch "-6" to filter (remove) IPv6-only nodes, i.e. the ones with an INO4 flag. The script doesn't resolve FQDNs to check for AAAA-only RRs, because the DNS of some nodes isn't reliable.

    And all the trouble for just one single node which got an INO4 flag :)

    Great! ;-)

    Still there's the question about listing only an IPv6 address with or without the INO4 flag. INO4 would be redundant,

    For mailers that recognise literal IPv6 addresses. But there is more than just mailers. See my comment about netmail routers/trackers in my message to Tommi.

    but it would simplify the software side.

    It would indeed.

    Yes. INO4 flag shouldn't do any harm even if it is there with IPv6 address.

    If it does no harm, please humour those who think there is a use for it and list 221/10 with the INO4 flag.

    Please?

    i.e. the ones with an INO4 flag. The script doesn't resolve FQDNs to

    Looks good. :)

    And all the trouble for just one single node which got an INO4 flag :)

    Seems a lot of work, but it is good to be prepaired for the future and I do expect to see more INO4 flags in the nodelist in the foreseeable future. It may

    take a while, but the time that a sysop can only get a DS-Lite connection without extraordinary effort or cost is coming.

    on the bright side, I think that with 50+ listed IPv6 nodes, we have enough "mass" to make it feasable to run a Fdionet node on a DS-Lite connection. A DS-Lite node still can make outgoing IPv4 connections, so it can poll IPv4 only

    nodes to get mail. Mail destined for it can be routed via one of the 50+ IPv6 capable IPv6 nodes. It should be doable...


    Cheers, Michiel

    Not really true, the is another one, that has been in de nodelist for
    over 3 years now. The only difference is that that node sports a DNS hostname.

    Because of that node the INO4 flag was defined.

    By the way, you make regular connects to that node ;)

    How time flies, it does not veel like, that long ago, that I started

    No, it is different. Strictly speaking -the INO4 flag is about IPv4. It means that the node in question does NOT have incoming IPv4 capability.

    This makes sense. :)

    OT-Ttrack can act on nodelist flags. From the doc:

    /IfFlags="data;data;...;data"

    Of course not, since OS/2 doesn't support IPv6.

    And in all likehood never will.

    You never know.. ArcaOS will be released pretty soon.

    I'll believe it when I see it, EcomStation also promised IPv6 support.

    Yes, the same feelings here. I'm afaid it will be just another ecomstation...

    BTW: "humour" ? :D

    Yep. "humour". With "ou". ;-)

    Totally unknown word as a verb for me. Until nnow. :)

    You do know that "humor" is the US spelling of humour?

    Yes.


    I meant to put a smiley at the end of that question. It had been a long day with outside work all day in 27C heat. That is not fun at any time but even worse when you get to be retired, or as I read in a joke someplace, "retarted" :)

    I'm talking about now, in my late 40s. :) If I couldn't handle working in 27C, that would be half the year I couldn't work! :) And yes, I actually did dig holes for fence posts late last year in those conditions, or the other time where I dug a trench by hand in 30+ weather. They couldn't get a machine in, it was too close to a shed and uneven ground to operate a digger.

    Well y ou are about 30 years younger then I am <G>. The hardest part was pulling the old fence post with cement out of the hole. Anyway, we seem to have been warned so, lets call this an end of thread <G>
