You have the option of configuring any AppServer instance to communicate across an IPv6 network.Internet Protocol is the connectionless network layer protocol responsible for moving datagrams, or packets of information, from one node to another. Prior to Release 10.1C, OpenEdge network communications are implemented using IPv4. IPv4 continues to be the default protocol, and IPv6 must be explicitly requested at startup in your server properties file, or on the command line.
If no version is specified, then only IPv4 connections and communications are possible.
Note: Most IPv6 implementations allow an IPv4 connection to an IPv6 socket. This is called aV4 mapped address. Windows does not support V4 mapped addresses.
For information on using IPv6, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
