Support for IPv6, including mixed IPv6/IPv4 operation?
Is it planned to support IPv6 in the foreseeable future? We would need mixed IPv4/IPv6 operation.
And if this is not planned, how difficult would it be to port another IP stack to the ESP32?
With best regards

LWIP actually already supports IPv6; at the moment, it's just the DHCP bit (server as well as client) that aren't IPv6-compatible yet. Support for complete IPv6 is planned, but unfortunately I can't tell you the timeframe on that.

Doesn't it support SLAAC though so is DHCPv6 necessary?

But also simultaneous use of IPv4 and IPv6 connections?ESP_Sprite wrote:LWIP actually already supports IPv6; at the moment, it's just the DHCP bit (server as well as client) that aren't IPv6-compatible yet.

And would it be feasible/hard/easy to adapt another IP stack instead?
Thanks

As far as I am aware, LWIP is capable of simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 operation. LWIP is included as source code in esp-idf, so it should be possible to replace it with something else. I can't comment on the ease with which you'd be able to do that, though.

@ ESP_Sprite Thanks!
Re: Support for IPv6, including mixed IPv6/IPv4 operation?
Not to revive an old thread, but I hate creating new ones for the same thing. Do we know if DHCPv6 or SLAAC has been implemented yet?
Re: Support for IPv6, including mixed IPv6/IPv4 operation?
SLAAC is supported, DHCPv6 is not.
Re: Support for IPv6, including mixed IPv6/IPv4 operation?
I'm going to assume that is on the IDF side of the house, not Arduino. I tried earlier and changed a VLAN from DHCPv6 to SLAAC but still couldn't get a v6 address. Any tips?
