Evelina Dumitrescu commented on MESOS-1919:
-------------------------------------------
I wanted to use struct IPAddress only for storage and create all the abstaction
needed in the IPEndPoint class and the callsites will use only the metods from
the IPEndPoint class. It might be better to use this representation because the
networking calls(ie inet_ntop, inet_pton) work with in_addr and in6_addr
structs. Otherwise, we need to convert the vector to this type of structs each
time.

> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: libprocess
> Reporter: Dominic Hamon
> Assignee: Evelina Dumitrescu
> Priority: Minor
>
> in the code many functions need only the ip address to be passed as a
> parameter. I don't think it would be desirable to use a struct
> SockaddrStorage (MESOS-1916).
> Consider using a {{std::vector<unsigned char>}} (see {{typedef
> std::vector<unsigned char> IPAddressNumber;}} in the Chromium project)
