Body
copied!<p>I am trying to bring up a sample code for IPv6 server on Solaris. When i give link local address, it is working fine. But when i give global address, it is failing to bind. Please tell me, that can we use global IPv6 address on Solaris ?</p> <p>This is my code ....</p> <pre><code>#include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> /* the port users will be connecting to */ #define MYPORT 9000 /* how many pending connections queue will hold */ #define BACKLOG 10 int main(int argc, char *argv[ ]) { /* listen on sock_fd, new connection on new_fd */ int sockfd, new_fd; /* my address information */struct sockaddr_in6 their_addr; socklen_t sin_size; //struct sigaction sa; int yes = 1; if ((sockfd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1) { perror("Server-socket() error lol!"); return 0;//exit(1); } else printf("Server-socket() sockfd is OK...\n"); if (setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &yes, sizeof(int)) == -1) { perror("Server-setsockopt() error lol!"); return 0;//exit(1); }else printf("Server-setsockopt is OK...\n"); /* host byte order */ my_addr.sin6_family = AF_INET6; /* short, network byte order */ my_addr.sin6_port = htons(MYPORT); /* automatically fill with my IP */ inet_pton(AF_INET6,"2345:1111:aaaa::500",&my_addr.sin6_addr); //inet_pton(AF_INET6,"fe80::203:baff:fe50:cbe5",&my_addr.sin6_addr); my_addr.sin6_scope_id=5; /* zero the rest of the struct */ if(bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&my_addr, sizeof(my_addr)) == -1) perror("Server-bind() error"); return 0;//exit(1); } else printf("Server-bind() is OK...\n"); if(listen(sockfd, BACKLOG) == -1) { perror("Server-listen() error"); return 0;//exit(1); } printf("Server-listen() is OK...Listening...\n"); sin_size = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6); if((new_fd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&their_addr, &sin_size)) == -1) { perror("Server-accept() error"); //continue; } else printf("Server-accept() is OK...\n"); printf("Server-new socket, new_fd is OK...\n"); printf("Server: Got connection from \n"); /* this is the child process */ /* child doesn’t need the listener */ char buf[1024]; int numbytes=0; if((numbytes = recv(new_fd, buf, 1024, 0)) == -1) { perror("recv()"); return 1;//exit(1); } else printf("Client-The recv() is OK...\n"); buf[numbytes] = '\0';printf("Client-Received: %s", buf); if(send(new_fd, "This is a test string from server!\n", 37, 0) == -1) perror("Server-send() error lol!"); /* parent doesn’t need this*/ close(new_fd); printf("Server-new socket, new_fd closed successfully...\n"); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>Thank you ....</p>
