Google cares a lot about IPv6, and not only because Vint Cerf works at

We have some local modifications and some networking expertise and
intend to port/contribute that to openjdk10.
Most of this is the work of my colleagues Alexander Smundak and Paul
Marks.
We hope we can do most of this work without asking too much of other
net-dev engineers, but we will likely need help with porting to
non-Linux platforms, running JPRT, and perhaps CCC/JEP process.
We expect to make a large number of commits. Should there be a JEP to
cover this? Is there a current net-dev engineer who feels they "own"
this problem (Chris?)?
Do you expect a significant overhaul that would add new APIs and
re-specify/modernize some of the existing APIs? If so then this seems
significant enough to create a JEP. On the other hand, if this a series
of point patches to address specific issues then it might be best
handled as a linked sequence of issues in JIRA.
As regards the CCC then the proposal is to replace this with a new
"Compatibility & Specification Review" group in OpenJDK [1].
