The rfc2553bis draft introduces the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option to let applications limit the use of an ipv6 socket to ipv6 communication only. I think a better(more generic) solution would be a generic socket option which says "my family only". There could be "SO_ONEFAMILY" or similar generic socket option to do that. The idea is that if we have a socket and we want to restrict it to IPv6 or IPv4 (or some future IPvX) we'd have a way to do that.
I don't know if this idea has been already discussed here... (I checked only the last couple of months). I'd like to know what people think about it.
