Title : Multiple protocol support in getnameinfo API
Author(s) : J. Hagino
Filename : draft-itojun-ipv6-getnameinfo-multiproto-02.txt
Pages : 5
Date : 2004-12-21
IPv6 basic API [Gilligan, 2003] defines protocol-independent API for
address-to-string conversion, i.e. getnameinfo(3). Current
specification, however, assumes that there are two transport-layer
protocols - TCP (SOCK_STREAM) and UDP (SOCK_DGRAM), specifically in port number-to-service name conversion. The assumption prohibits
getnameinfo(3) from supporting other transport-layer protocols, such as
SCTP or DCCP. This document proposes a backward-compatible update to
getnameinfo(3) specification to allow the use of other transport-layer
protocol in port number-to-service name conversion.
This document does not define any new (wire-level) protocol.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
