I know what the RFC says. But there are a gazillion of protocols out there and I won't create a record for all of them in case socktype and protocol are zero. That's just overkill in 99.9% of all cases. I assumption is that UDPlite is just too specialized to be useful to a wide array of people. Yes, it case be supported if explicitly requeste= d but should be returned if 0/0 is passed in. What I'm asking is whether this is a fair assumption and what the story of DCCP is. - -- =E2=9E=A7 Ulrich Drepper =E2=9E=A7 Red Hat, Inc. =E2=9E=A7 444 Castro S= t =E2=9E=A7 Mountain View, CA =E2=9D=96 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIKvHb2ijCOnn/RHQRAlz5AKCvOSOm7PR7ljfyZ9krq0TtzZUTbgCdFLLj =461fvWvR+VvXUSE5x+VtgsqQ=3D =3D3Lft -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
