You actually need to refer to Unix Network Programming, Vol 1 by W Richard Stevens to have a context to ask the question. Apologies if that comes across as harsh, but either Stevens is wrong, or the kernel developers are wrong. It is unlikely that both are wrong and very likely that both are not right. Sometimes we just have to send kernel bugs upstream.
