Er, this may seem a stupid comment and all, but have you considered the
future of your software as well as the initial implementation?
The X server that I am running will happily host clients on TCP/IP -
which your API supports - as well as DECnet. Tomorrow, it will support
clients connected via IPv6...
Are you sure you want to use "long" type and "IPv4 address" as the
identifier here?
