The entity_addr_t type used throughout contains a sockaddr_storage, which can hold either ipv4 or ipv6 addresses, and that commit updated the parsing function to handle v6 address syntax. The last step is just to update msg/SimpleMessenger.cc to actually bind or connect an ipv6 socket. It should be pretty straightforward to fix the various places in the bind(), accept(), and connect() methods to do that, particularly if you already have v6 networking set up in your environment. sage
