Re: [tor-bugs] #5535 [Tor Client]: Make clients use "a" lines in network status documents
#5535: Make clients use "a" lines in network status documents
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: ln5 | Owner: ln5
Type: enhancement | Status: accepted
Priority: normal | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.4.x-final
Component: Tor Client | Version:
Keywords: ipv6 | Parent: #4564

Comment(by ln5):
When should a client prefer the IPv6 or port of a (non bridge) entry
node?
For bridges, the IPv6 OR port is preferred if the last bridge
descriptor seen (by rewrite_node_address_for_bridge()) has an IPv6
address.
Let's try this: Prefer IPv6 if there is an IPv6 OR port but make sure
we fall back to its IPv4 port if we fail connecting. I wonder how hard
it will be to implement the fall back thing. Lat time I looked (late
2011) it didn't seem too tempting.
