Re:SCTP and IPv6 (Score 1)

SCTP allows one to have both IPv6 and IPv4 active on the same socket at the same time :-D Now we were rather ham-strung by the V6 API's as well.. you can't change everything.. so yes you end up getting addresses in AF_INET6 format up the socket.. but the cool think (at least with the BSD version) is you can get a V6 socket to give you both V4 addresses and V6 addresses.. no need to do the map to v6 (from v4) and then have the kernel unmap the thing you just mapped :-0 Unfortunately any but the mildest changes, when adding SCTP to sockets, would totaly change the socket API's.. Now, on that front, if you want to do that, you can always define a new socket like layer :-D R
