One of the first steps will be to choose a perl module to support authentication of IPv6 addresses. Examples possibly include:
- I believe the measurements code (pinger2.pl) will work with both IPv4 and IPv6. This was part of an IPv6 project at SLAC many years ago that used the SLAC IPv6 allocation about which there is a presentation. Thus for monitoring sites pinger2.pl should be OK.
- A simple place to start would be traceroute.pl, since it does not require access any external modules, and is conceptually very simple. Some work has been done on this already, but only tested at NASA. It uses ping6 and traceroute6.
- I suspect ping_data.pl will need some mods also.
Once pinger2.pl, traceeroute.pl and pinger_data.pl have been made IPv6
It would be good to have a test bench, e.g. an IPv6 host on which we can debug the modified applications.
