Well-hidden yum feature in fc17

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I noted that my upgrade of fc17 was running very slowly this morning. I was getting only about 65-68kB download, and things were pretty slow. Since this is a regular thing, I checked a few things, and found out that the upgrade was going over IPv6! It was slow because my connection with a 2nd ISP for IPv6 was for testing, and is only 768kb right now.

It looks as if yum chooses IPv6 sources when available, over IPv4. Who knew?

Yes, I confirmed with wireshark, really was using v6 for everything but rpmfusion updates.

taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination.  -me, 2010
