Comment 2 for bug 1724590

Hi Guys - I'm currently trying to use IPv6 with QEMU on ARM / AARCH64 Models (Sabre-Lite / Zync SOCs) and I see this problem. The system gets an IPv6 address from the QEMU in-built router which can be used to ping the default gateway (the dhcp router itself). All this is good but not really useful as I want to communicate with a TCP6 client on the host (Windows / Linux) machine running on port 8080. I've added the co-responding port mappings (like I do with IPv4) but I never receive packets from the host OS which is this issue. So I have the following questions,
- It seems that this issue is still open and on the wishlist. Is this correct ? If so, is there any ETA to when someone will take this up ? If none, may be I can look at this ;-).. I'm currently using QEMU 3.0
- Assuming that its not working, what are the alternatives that I can use ? I understand that there is TAP-TUN Networking where the QEMU model can communicate with the hardware interface over a bridge.. This should work with IPv6.. Can you confirm ?

This needs quick closure on my side and so quick comments will be appreciated..

Thanks,
Bilal
