Re: [advanced API] how to get the destination address for IPV6_RECVPATHMTU

 In your previous mail you wrote:

   No, but the MTU value would be copied from the corresponding ICMPv6
   error message, so I don't surprise if an implementation keeps the
   field in the network byte order.
   
=> or if there is no ICMPv6 error the MTU value would be copied from
the outgoing interface MTU parameter which has no reason to be
in the network byte order (this will only make comparaison harder).

   However, I don't stick to using the network byte order. The point is
   that we should clearly state the byte order in the spec.
   
=> I agree and I vote for the host byte order.
