oh, sorry, i misunderstood your question. the returned value from the network method of the net.addr interface can be used to pass to connection setup and endpoint resolving functions as an argument. at that point, we already had the value "ip" for net.ipaddr, so we needed another name that can be distinguishable from the pair of "ip" and net.ipaddr, and can be invalid in the existing connection setup functions for avoiding unnecessary confusion because "ip+net" can represent an ip address prefix. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
