Re: [lwip-users] Switching to dual stack LwIP

Hi,

I am able to implement a web server using dual stack. However, I have an MDNS implementation using two UDP sockets, for v4 and v6. My specification requires me to join and send messages to v4 as well as v6. However, when I try doing a `sendto` to the IPv4 group (inet_addr("224.0.0.251") ), using a v6 socket, say fd is 'sock6', 

to.sin_family = AF_INET;
to.sin_port = port;
to.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("224.0.0.251");

len = sendto(sock6, (char *)m->header, size, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&to, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));

the following check fails 

' if ((to != NULL) && !SOCK_ADDR_TYPE_MATCH(to, sock))'

also if I try to append ::ffff: in the beginning of the address(changing family accordingly), the joingroup call fails.

As of now I use the same above sockaddr_in `to`  to join v4 group via setsockopt ADD_MEMBERSHIP. I wanted to know if it is possible to implement the mdns without using the low level calls as in the lwip's example mdns(i.e. using socket apis).

Hi,

Two years back I made a web server based on LwIP that uses two sockets, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6.

However recently I have seen that there have been a quite a lot of changes regarding dual stack, I am not sure to what extent it is implemented. I was wondering whether these changes would allow me to get to use a single socket for both IPv4 and IPv6.
