    Problem Summary PG4U.00076 This IR claims that an address_len of zero qualifies as a condition to reset the peer address instead of fail a SOCK_DGRAM connect() call.
    Problem Text
    We believe this is a test suite deficiency.

    The X/Open CAE Specification (1994) for Networking Services, Issue 4,
    states, under the Description for connect():
    "... For SOCK_DGRAM sockets, the peer address identifies where all
    datagrams are sent on subsequent send() calls, and limits the
    remote sender for subsequent recv() calls. If address is a null
    address for the protocol, the socket's peer address will be reset."

    In this testcase an AF_INET address is being passed to an AF_UNIX
    connect. We check to see that sock_len is zero, and assume that
    this is a reset case. AF_INET does not have to fill this field
    in since all sockaddrs are the same length and that value is the
    other operand specified on the call. Since we see this as a reset
    case the connect does not fail on our implementation.
    Test Output
    TEST PURPOSE #12
    If the implementation supports a communications domain
    and a socket type:
    EAFNOSUPPORT in errno and return -1 on a call to int
    connect(int socket, const struct sockaddr *address,
    size_t address_len) when address is not valid for the
    address family of the socket.

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    We believe the test is correct.

    The portion of the spec the submitter quotes clearly states that
    the connect() calls address not the address_length must be null
    for a reset to occur. Since this is not the case the test should
    perform as expected on the IUT.
