Comment:
I wonder how much of this works already?
Clearly, we need at least some authorities or fallback directories with
hard-coded IPv6 addresses (#17327), otherwise an IPv6-only client has no
hope of bootstrapping.
I'm not sure if we need to fix reachable addresses (#9067), unless it
denies all IPv6 directory or OR addresses by default (#9068).
I'm not sure if clients already use whatever addresses they can bootstrap
and OR over (#17217), or if they always choose IPv4 addresses. Will I need
to set ClientPreferIPv6ORPort or ClientPreferIPv6DirPort (#17834)?
I suspect that if we don't listen on IPv6 by default on the SOCKSPort
(#11360), then this will be a show-stopper, but only after the client is
connected to the Tor network.
I'll be doing my testing with a client build with:
* The latest patch for authority IPv6 addresses (#17327)
* ClientIPv6 1 set
