ThingSpeak: missing IPv6 compatibility
显示 更早的评论
Hello,
it is planned to add IPv6 capability to ThingSpeak?
For several IOT protocolls that is necessary. Currently we want to connect 6LoWPAN nodes but can't because of the missing IPv6 compatibility.
Regards

Can you provide more documentation on the LoWPAN nodes? What specific IPv6 functionality are needed for you to use ThingSpeak with these nodes?

It sounds like you're using a ststic IP address in your nodes. Static IP is not recommended for a number of reasons. Would it not be possible to use the DNS resolver to resolve https://api.thingspeak.com?
Using the hostname is the recomended approach for both IPv4 and IPv6 edge nodes.

No, we don't use a static address. We are using api.thingspeak.com.
But a dns request with this domain name doesn't give an IPv6 address. You can check it by yourself e.g. with https://dnschecker.org/all-dns-records-of-domain.php
You'll get an a record with the IPv4 address but not an aaaa record which delivers the IPv6 address.
Another possibilty would be nslookup. The result is shown here:
So, the domain name api.thingspeak.com doesn't have a public available IPv6 address.
With an dual stack system you don't notice it. But 6LoWPAN is a single stack protocoll, no IPv4 only IPv6.

We'll look into adding the aaaa record for thingspeak.com and api.thingspeak.com. I'll post back on this thread when completed.
