<h3><a name="Remote_IPv6">IPv6 support</a></h3>
<p>
IPv6 has received some limited testing and should work. Problems with
libvirt and IPv6 should be reported as <a href="bugs.html">bugs</a>.
The libvirtd service and libvirt remote client driver both use the
<code>getaddrinfo()</code> functions for name resolution and are
thus fully IPv6 enabled. ie, if a server has IPv6 address configured
the daemon will listen for incoming connections on both IPv4 and IPv6
protocols. If a client has an IPv6 address configured and the DNS
address resolved for a service is reachable over IPv6, then an IPv6
connection will be made, otherwise IPv4 will be used. In summary it
should just 'do the right thing(tm)'.
