And I have seen a lot of well written code that uses the API as is and
testing in various research centers.
We cannot change the base api for IPv6 every six months because new
programmers want new features. what we need to do is take what we have
now and see what IEEE did with the latest rev they are working on and be
done with the base api. then new programmers can add new thingees to it
tomorrow.
As far as being able to accept v4mapped on AF_INET6 is supported by
Solaris as I said. This is the view of tomorrow by most server vendors.
It is the default. If one don't like it set the option to v6only and no
v4mapped will go over AF_INET6 in any manner.
Thats the plan.
thanks
