Hello Jay

IoTivity should support both. However, I would insist that we require the 
presence of the IPv6 API in any BSD sockets code we come across (that is, 
getaddrinfo, sockaddr_in6, etc.). Linux has had this since 1999 and it's 
inconceivable that a BSD sockets implementation in 2015 would have no support 
for IPv6. Whether the support is enabled at runtime or not, that's a different 
story.

OIC is in a different position, though. I will speak to Ravi and the standards 
team soon about requiring IPv6 support in home networks.

There's no conversion necessary.
