Detailed Description

An object that can hold a ipv4 or ipv6 socket address.

This would be used for tcpip socket connections. We do not use sockaddr_storage because it is not present in pre ipv6 stacks, and because the storage size also includes the size of the path of a unix domain socket on posix systems.
