Excel list of perfSONAR IPv6 hosts (from Saqib).

The MA needs to be running pinger2.pl, version 3.0 or later. This is available from https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/download/attachments/230720924/perfSONAR%20Nodesv5.cf.csv

Initially, you will need to manually add some IPv6 hosts to the pinger.xml file in the <HostList> section, e.g.:

<HostList>
<Host>
<EnableDNSCache>false</EnableDNSCache>
<IP>2001:4860:800f::68</IP>
<Name>ipv6.google.com</Name>
</Host>
...
<Host>
<EnableDNSCache>false</EnableDNSCache>
<IP>2001:49d0:23c0:1002::2</IP>
<Name>ps-esu-lt.perfsonar.kanren.net</Name>
</Host>
</HostList>

A future project would be to figure out how to automate the process of adding IPv6 hosts to the pinger.xml file by migrating the beacon list(s) to IPv6 without breaking PingER MAs that are not IPv6 capable.
