Create tcp_server_start by moving code. Keep using parse_host_port and the old loop around connect. 2. Unify all TCP servers to use this code 3. Introduce the client code and the convert all clients. Up to here, this should be pure refactoring work. 4. Only now start changing the logic. First thing is getaddrinfo. Don't change from IPv4 to IPv6 yet. 5. Make all changes required for IPv6 (getaddrinfo arguments, address parsing, etc.) Having step-by-step conversions with an explanation of each step in the commit message makes it so much easier to understand the commits. For the comments on details see the replies to the individual patches.
