HELP : Convert socket programming from Ipv4 to IPv6
Hi all,
I need help in converting my Ipv4 socket programing to Ipv6. How can I do this? I already have an Ipv4 socket programming that is working but when I tried to convert it to Ipv6 it doesn't work .
this is my Ipv4 socket programming :
DatagramPacket sendPacket;
DatagramSocket sock;
ip = jtfDIP.getText().trim();
try{
sock = new DatagramSocket();
add = InetAddress.getByName(ip);
sendPacket = new DatagramPacket(buf,buf.length,add,port);
}
Please help me. How can I convert this to Ipv6. Thank you.

You don't have to do anything whatsoever to your code.
See the JDK Javadoc/Guide to Features/Networking/IPv6 section.
You have to supply IPv6-format IP addresses, and you may have to set some of the system properties discussed in that document. And you may have to do something platform-dependent to your platform to enable IPv6.

Socket sock = new Socket("host");
or
Socket sock = new Socket("192.168.1.1");
or
Socket sock = new Socket("www.host.com");
or
Socket sock = new Socket("hhhh.hhhh.hhhh.hhhh");
Get it? Just use whatever host, domain name, or IP you need, the underlying native code does the work - you'll never need to do anything, for the most part.
