This is needed for the future, and needed for IPv6-only networks and devices (which are increasingly prevalent).

This may be a good first project. It's likely relatively easy.

@gsnedders, does this really make sense? Are there web platform features that we'd want to test over both IPv4 and 6? Seems to me like that layer never really appears in our tests at all?

gsnedders commented 6 years ago

@foolip WebRTC is an obvious case where it matters.

foolip commented 6 years ago

@gsnedders, do you mean for testing some of the other protocols involved there? Isn't it analogous to the situation with HTTP, that we just use the protocol and that exercising for IPv4 and 6 would be a bit like testing both over Ethernet and WiFi?

gsnedders commented 6 years ago

@foolip A fair bit of WebRTC deals with NAT transversal and whether IP addresses are publicly addressable, IIRC, not to mention exposing IP addresses and passing them over the wire in various places.
