mostly because netsnmp_sockaddr_storage is ~28 bytes, and sockaddr_storage is 128 bytes. But netsnmp_sockaddr_storage is also a union, letting you get at the data as various types without casting, whereas sockaddr_storage is basically just a byte array. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
