> In order to implement the version 6 Internet Protocol (IPv6) [1] in an 
> operating system based on Berkeley Unix (4.x BSD), changes must be made to 
> the application program interface (API).  TCP/IP applications written for 
> BSD-based operating systems have in the past enjoyed a high degree of 
> portability because most of the systems derived from BSD provide the same 
> API, known informally as "the socket interface".  We would like the same 
> portability with IPv6.  This memo presents a set of extensions to the BSD 
> socket API to support IPv6.  The changes include a new data structure to 
> carry IPv6 addresses, new name to address translation library functions, 
> new address conversion functions, and some new setsockopt() options.  The 
> extensions are designed to provide access to IPv6 features, while 
> introducing a minimum of change into the system and providing complete 
> compatibility for existing IPv4 applications.
