I am an SNMP developer and have just subscribed to this mailing list, so I apologize if there has already been a discussion on this subject. I noticed that the IPv6 MIB Design Team internet drafts for the revised TCP and UDP MIBs, define version neutral MIB tables. For a server application that opens an AF_INET6 socket and binds to the unspecified address (without setting the IPv6_V6ONLY socket option), should there be two entries in these MIB tables, one with the local address as IPv4/INADDR_ANY and one with the local address as IPv6/unspecified? Or should there be one entry with the local address as IPv6/unspecified? What if the server application opened an AF_INET6 socket and bound to an IPv4-mapped address? Would there be one entry in the tables with the local address as IPv4/address or as IPv6/IPv4-mapped address? I think my real question is, are the table entries supposed to reflect the IP address type from the view of the flow of the packets on the network, or from the viewpoint of the address family of the socket with which the connection/listener is associated?
