<h1 class="topictitle1">Socket scenario: Create an application to accept IPv4 and IPv6 clients</h1>
<div><p>This topic describes a typical situation in which you might want
to use the AF_INET6 address family.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Situation</h4><p>Suppose you are a socket programmer that
works for an application development company that specializes in socket applications
for iSeries™.
To keep ahead of their competitors, you have decided to develop a suite of
applications that use the AF_INET6 address family, which accept connections
from IPv4 and IPv6. You want to create an application that processes requests
from both IPv4 and IPv6 nodes. You know that the i5/OS™ supports the AF_INET6 address family
sockets which provides interoperability with AF_INET address family sockets.
You also know this can be accomplished by using an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address
format. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Scenario objectives</h4><p>This scenario has the following
objectives and goals:</p>
<ol><li>Create a server application that accepts and processes requests
from IPv6 and IPv4 clients</li>
<li>Create a client application that requests data from an IPv4 or IPv6 server
application</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Prerequisite steps</h4><p>Before developing your application
that meets these objectives, complete the following tasks:</p>
<ol><li>Install QSYSINC library. This library provides necessary header files
that are needed when compiling socket applications.</li>
<li>Install the C Compiler licensed program (5722CX2).</li>
<li>Install and configure an Ethernet card. For information
about Ethernet options, see the <a href="../rzajy/rzajyoverview.htm">Ethernet</a> topic in the information center.</li>
<li> <p><a href="../rzai2/rzai2firsttime.htm">Set
up TCP/IP</a> and <a href="../rzai2/rzai2configipv6.htm">IPv6 </a> network.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Scenario details</h4><p>The following graphic describes
the IPv6 network for which you create applications to handle requests from
IPv6 and IPv4 clients. The iSeries contains the program that listens and processes
requests from these clients. The network is comprised of two separate domains,
one that contains IPv4 clients exclusively and the other remote network containing
only IPv6 clients. The domain name of the iSeries is myserver.myco.com. The server
application uses the AF_INET6 address family to process these incoming requests
with the in6addr_any specified on the <span class="apiname">bind()</span> function
call.</p>
