Hello Tom,
on a general note I'm wondering what this offers over the existing SCTP
support. SCTP offers reliable message exchange and multihoming already.
On a specific note, I'm wondering if the dup(2) familiy of system calls
isn't a lot more suitable/natural instead of overloading accept.
Best regards.
