|

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|

|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
||
|
.Fd #include <netinet/in.h>
|
||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The Internet protocol family is a collection of protocols
|
||
|
layered atop the
|
||
|
.Em Internet Protocol
|
||
|
.Pq Tn IP
|
||
|
transport layer, and utilizing the Internet address format.
|
||
|
The Internet family provides protocol support for the
|
||
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM , SOCK_DGRAM ,
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Dv SOCK_RAW
|
||
|
socket types; the
|
||
|
.Dv SOCK_RAW
|
||
|
interface provides access to the
|
||
|
.Tn IP
|
||
|
protocol.
|
||
|
.Sh ADDRESSING
|
||
|
Internet addresses are four byte quantities, stored in
|
||
|
network standard format (on the
|
||
|
.Tn VAX
|
||
|
these are word and byte
|
||
|
reversed). The include file
|
||
|
.Aq Pa netinet/in.h
|
||
|
defines this address
|
||
|
as a discriminated union.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Sockets bound to the Internet protocol family utilize
|
||
|
the following addressing structure,
|
||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
|
struct sockaddr_in {
|
||
|
short sin_family;
|
||
|
u_short sin_port;
|
||
|
struct in_addr sin_addr;
|
||
|
char sin_zero[8];
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
.Ed
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Sockets may be created with the local address
|
||
|
.Dv INADDR_ANY
|
||
|
to effect
|
||
|
.Dq wildcard
|
||
|
matching on incoming messages.
|
||
|
The address in a
|
||
|
.Xr connect 2
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.Xr sendto 2
|
||
|
call may be given as
|
||
|
.Dv INADDR_ANY
|
||
|
to mean
|
||
|
.Dq this host .
|
||
|
The distinguished address
|
||
|
.Dv INADDR_BROADCAST
|
||
|
is allowed as a shorthand for the broadcast address on the primary
|
||
|
network if the first network configured supports broadcast.
|
||
|
.Sh PROTOCOLS
|
||
|
The Internet protocol family is comprised of
|
||
|
the
|
||
|
.Tn IP
|
||
|
transport protocol, Internet Control
|
||
|
Message Protocol
|
||
|
.Pq Tn ICMP ,
|
||
|
Transmission Control
|
||
|
Protocol
|
||
|
.Pq Tn TCP ,
|
||
|
and User Datagram Protocol
|
||
|
.Pq Tn UDP .
|
||
|
.Tn TCP
|
||
|
is used to support the
|
||
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM
|
||
|
abstraction while
|
||
|
.Tn UDP
|
||
|
is used to support the
|
||
|
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM
|
||
|
abstraction. A raw interface to
|
||
|
.Tn IP
|
||
|
is available
|
||
|
by creating an Internet socket of type
|
||
|
.Dv SOCK_RAW .
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Tn ICMP
|
||
|
message protocol is accessible from a raw socket.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The 32-bit Internet address contains both network and host parts.
|
||
|
It is frequency-encoded; the most-significant bit is clear
|
||
|
in Class A addresses, in which the high-order 8 bits are the network
|
||
|
number.
|
||
|
Class B addresses use the high-order 16 bits as the network field,
|
||
|
and Class C addresses have a 24-bit network part.
|
||
|
Sites with a cluster of local networks and a connection to the
|
||
|
Internet may chose to use a single network number for the cluster;
|
||
|
this is done by using subnet addressing.
|
||
|
The local (host) portion of the address is further subdivided
|
||
|
into subnet and host parts.
|
||
|
Within a subnet, each subnet appears to be an individual network;
|
||
|
externally, the entire cluster appears to be a single, uniform
|
||
|
network requiring only a single routing entry.
|
||
|
Subnet addressing is enabled and examined by the following
|
||
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
||
|
commands on a datagram socket in the Internet domain;
|
||
|
they have the same form as the
|
||
|
.Dv SIOCIFADDR
|
||
|
command (see
|
||
|
.Xr intro 4 ) .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
.Bl -tag -width SIOCSIFNETMASK
|
||
|
.It Dv SIOCSIFNETMASK
|
||
|
Set interface network mask.
|
||
|
The network mask defines the network part of the address;
|
||
|
if it contains more of the address than the address type would indicate,
|
||
|
then subnets are in use.
|
||
|
.It Dv SIOCGIFNETMASK
|
||
|
Get interface network mask.

|
||
|
The Internet protocol support is subject to change as
|
||
|
the Internet protocols develop. Users should not depend
|
||
|
on details of the current implementation, but rather
|
||
|
the services exported.
