Recent versions of netperf whine verbosely when run on any version of {Open,}Solaris:WARNING! getaddrinfo returned a protocol other than the requested protocol. Please contact your vendor for a fix to this bug in getaddrinfo()
Where "recent" actually goes back a ways in "netperf time" anyway. The specific usage of getaddrinfo() in netperf can be found at: http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/trunk/src/nettest_bsd.c in the routine complete_addrinfo happy benchmarking, rick jones
The protocol returned always seems to be 0. Looking at the code (_getaddrinfo() around lines 450-500 of in src/lib/libsocket/inet/getaddrinfo.c, the code is setting nai->ai_protocol = 0; for both IPv4 and IPv6 I believe this is what he's complaining about. But is that a bug? There's a closed bug (4085835) from 1997 about this, but I have no idea why it was closed since I cannot see any details from outside.. Drew
