[Freeswitch-users] ipv6 - any fans?

[Brian Foster]

+1. Most of the servers I have actually do have IPv6 addresses, however I
do not use them. I really just don't have the experience to deploy IPv6
safely. Those servers all have public IP's so really for me there isn't
much benefit (yet), so it's not on my priority list. FS ipv-6 profile is
immediately removed prior to first start of FreeSWITCH.
