Hi all,

are there any plans to implement "ipv6_local_port_range" in the
future like on IPv4?

The IPv4 sysctl is shared between IPv4 and IPv6, because v4 and v6 share a common port space.
Thanks for reply.

Two more questions:

1) exists there any documentation beside the source code itself which "/proc/sys/net/ipv4" values will be also used for IPv6?

2) are there any plans for 2.5 or later to split off common used proc switches to another directory like "/proc/sys/net/ip"? There was a thread sometimes ago relating 'howto make IPv4 as module' which can be take advantage of such split off (I'm thinking about IPv6 only clients with Linux network stack)...

TIA,
Peter
