Family (2 bytes): The address family of the socket. This field MUST contain one of the following values.
-
Value
Meaning
InterNetwork
0x0002
When set, this indicates an IPv4 address in the socket.
InterNetworkV6
0x0017
When set, this indicates an IPv6 address in the socket.
Buffer (variable): A variable-length buffer that contains the socket address information. If the value of the Family field is 0x0002, this field MUST be interpreted as SOCKADDR_IN (section 2.2.2.2.1). Otherwise, if the value of the Family field is 0x0017, this field MUST be interpreted as SOCKADDR_IN6 (section 2.2.2.2.2).
Reserved (variable): The remaining bytes within the size of the SOCKADDR_STORAGE structure (128 bytes) MUST NOT be used and MUST be reserved. The server SHOULD set this to zero, and the client MUST ignore it on receipt.
