Re: [reSIProcate] resip, ares, and IPv6
I haven't tried it, no ..
Though I did notice on the c-ares page that IPv6 support was recently added.
I'm kind of new to this area, what is the history around ares vs. c-ares
anyways? Is c-ares a fork? Do you think it would be easily integratable
with resip?
And what happened to vanilla ares? I can't find a webpage anywhere..
