Dear all,

the way it is done in the socketapi is that the
functions (like bind) use a pointer to the struct sockaddr
structure. If you want to use the bind call for
a IPv4 address you use a pointer to a struct sockaddr_in
and cast it, if you want to use a IPv6 address you
use a pointer to a struct sockaddr_in6 and cast it.

You may want to have a look in Stevens Network Programming
book.

Best regards
Michael

Hello All, Currently I am implementing UDP style API's for
SCTP. I got a very basic doubt, should we create seperate
API's for IPv4 and IPv6. Is there any mechanism, which can
accept both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
