There seems to be support for independent resolution, proposed as a getaddrinfo wrapper for hostname+service resolution, or by Michel's ip_resolver class for hostname resolution. Which other protocols can use name resolution?
There is also a strong push for unified ip4, ip6 address class. Michel has made a very good ip_address proposal. Do we need 3 ip address classes or just the final one ? * an ip4 address class, * an ip6 address class, * a combined ip4/ip6 address class. Michel has also proposed changing the address concept to add a to_str() representation of an address, and return the representation through: std::pair<void*,unsigned> representaion(); Michel Andre and another (anonymous as far as I can tell) poster have commented on addressing at: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostSocket/AddressConcept Boris Schaeling also commented in news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/12305 _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
