Ulrich,
Which IPv6 working group are you referring to? The one in the
IETF, or the working group in the Opengroup working on the
XNET portion of the Single Unix Specification?
I'm getting dizzy trying to figure out who is running the show
when it comes to setting socket API standards for IPv6.
Thanks.
