I am exercising Linux timestamping functionality (TX part): https://docs.kernel.org/networking/timestamping.html It looks like there is no easy way to understand that the system will never provide me with TX timestamps at runtime. It means that I can enable TX timestamping via setsockopt without an error: even on a system which does not support TX timestamps at all. And then I can

How does the host name resolution of anyname.localhost resolves to IPv6 ::1 address?
In an Ubuntu 20 or 22 LTS, if I attempt to use a hostname like anyname.localhost it always seems to resolve to IPv6 ::1 address. In an old RHEL 6, if I attempt to use a hostname like anyname.localhost it always seems to resolve to IPv4 127.0.0.1 address. In a MS-Windows or MacOS 12.6 machine, this does not seem to

When using recv(n), with n greather than the MTU are you guaranteed to read at least a whole layer 2 frame?
I was wondering, imagine if there is no data to read from a TCP socket, then a whole frame of 1492 bytes arrives (full). In your code (C or any language supporting TCP) you have let’s say recv 4096 bytes, will the OS guarantee that the recv reads the whole 1492 bytes, or is it possible that the loading of

How to check if the IP address that a socket is bound to is still one of the valid machine’s addresses?
Once I call socket(); bind() (with a specific IP address, not INADDR_ANY); listen(), there seems to be no way of determining if the IP address is still a valid address of one of the system’s interfaces. What I looked into using: Checking error with getsockopt(SO_ERROR); Using epoll()-ing on some EPOLLERR, EPOLL{,RD}HUP events; Hoping that accept() would return an error if
