Surely too late for OFED 1.2, but we can reopen this afterwards.
Are there disadvantages to using protocol instead of family?
Would this change present a problem for people using e.g. getprotobyname
to get the protocol number?
True, at that level it would be trading one problem - AF_INET_SDP not in
getaddrinfo()) into a different problem - IPPROTO_SDP not in
getprotobyname().
However, I think that is the "better" problem - SDP is a "protocol" not
an address family. (Again, based on what little I understand about
SDP). Having said that, at this point, is the die not already cast?
Probably worth asking for opinions in netdev. I'm sure there would be
at least a couple available there.
