Issue #5: Level of shim specific socket options Which level should the shim specific socket options be defined ? IPPROTO_IP, IPPROTO_IPV6 ? SOL_SOCKET ? SOL_SHIM (a new level for shim) ? Advantages of defining SOL_SHIM: Shim sub-layer is inherently independent from any IP protocols. We would like to avoid defining a set of shim socket options for both IPv4 and IPv6. Drawbacks of SOL_SHIM: Requires introducing a new level to socket API framework. |
