"Applications"? The network stack is rarely called by

Yes, Christian has brought up this point in the past as well.
Still, looking up from layer 3 it doesn't matter much whether we have
to be compatible with actual applications or Java run time environments
and Win32 internals. (There is less of that stuff than actual
applications which makes it a bit easier though.)
However, like it or not, multi6 *does* have to deal with
the real world of ULPs that call the current socket API.
That may only be stage 1, but it has to work.
Agree. We need to think about stages 1+ too is all I'm saying.
