Open Infrastructure

Objective¶

Have a test case of an IPv6 only Matrix network or rooms. Servers/client that want to join are required to have IPv6.

Implementation core network¶

• Synapse running IPv6 only
• No outgoing NAT64/DNS64
• Possibly using the domain "ipv6.social" for the matrix domains (i.e. ungleich could run on @xyz:ungleich.ipv6.social, anyone joining can select a DNS name of their choice)
  • Only if of interest for a common view towards outside
• Only incoming IPv6
  • No proxies or similar to bridge from the IPv4 world
• Maybe removing A records from DNS

Implementation federation / "other Servers"¶

• Other servers can be IPv6 only on dual stack
  • Need to define whether the federation should accept dual stack or not
