Re: [lwip-users] How to have two different sockets for IPv4 and IPv6

[Rahul Gundecha]

Hi Mohsin,

I have http server working simultaneously on both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets. Here are my suggestions in your code:

1. Why you are using same "iStatus" for both socket descriptors?

2. Same question for "sin". For IPv4, you need to use struct sockaddr_in, whereas for IPv6 struct sockaddr_in6 variable, so two different variables.
3. iStatus = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ); => 0 should be replaced by IPPROTO_TCP which is 6

Thanks,

Rahul

sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
sin.sin_len = sizeof(sin);
sin.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
sin.sin_port = HTTP_PORT_NUMBER;               //port = 80
memset(&(sin.sin_zero), '\0', sizeof(sin.sin_zero));

//webserver_task_IPv6
iStatus = socket( AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );
sin.sin6_family = AF_INET6;
sin.sin6_len = sizeof(sin);
memset(&(sin.sin6_addr), 0, sizeof(sin.sin6_addr));
sin.sin6_port = HTTP_PORT_NUMBER;               //port = 80

Hi Simon,

I tried binding a socket to IPv6 ANY address, but it just works for IPv6
address only and not for IPv4.

I even tried setting #define SO_REUSE  1 as per Philips suggestion, but
still same problem.

So, maybe there is some functionality lacking in pcb which can support
reuse of same listening port for different protocol versions simultaneously.
