Access Points

Parameters

{

  "bind_addr_v4": "0.0.0.0:0",
  "bind_addr_v6": null
}

• resolver: Descriptor of the Resolver to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
• bind_addr_v4 (optional): IPv4 socket address to bind to. If omitted, a default socket address will be used. If set to null, IPv4 will be disabled.
• bind_addr_v6 (optional): IPv6 socket address to bind to. If omitted, a default socket address will be used. If set to null, IPv6 will be disabled.

Details

When both bind_addr_v4 and bind_addr_v6 are non-null (i.e. either specified a value or omitted), the plugin utilizes RFC 8305: Happy Eyeballs Version 2 strategy to establish a connection to both IPv4 and IPv6 networks in a concurrent manner.
