BSD Sockets are infamous for being significant issue in using anything other than IPv4 (getaddrinfo is copied over from XTI, aka Streams-related "evil" API). They are literally a low-level API that happened to be part of IPv4-only stack because DoD had short deadline to get IPv4 ported to VAX and other new Unix machines. And OS should provide a policy when it comes to networking, otherwise you end up with never ending story of working around other's software to implement them. |
