[OpenSIPS-Users] How to ensure current IPV6 listening address

[Răzvan Crainea]

Hi, Robert!

After further documenting, it seems that linux can only provide IPv4 
interfaces (for more info, see [1], check for SIOCGIFCONF). In order to 
support IPv6, we need to find a different way to get the addresses. 
Please open a feature request on our tracker[2], and we will check how 
to support this.
