    The de facto standard application program interface (API) for TCP/IP
    applications is the "sockets" interface. Although this API was
    developed for Unix in the early 1980s it has also been implemented on
    a wide variety of non-Unix systems. TCP/IP applications written
    using the sockets API have in the past enjoyed a high degree of
    portability and we would like the same portability with IPv6
    applications. But changes are required to the sockets API to support
    IPv6 and this memo describes these changes. These include a new
    socket address strUCture to carry IPv6 addresses, new address
    conversion functions, and some new socket options. These extensions
    are designed to provide Access to the basic IPv6 features required by
    TCP and UDP applications, including multicasting, while introducing a
    minimum of change into the system and providing complete
    compatibility for existing IPv4 applications.
