Hi , In method Java_java_net_Inet6AddressImpl_getLocalHostName , file src/solaris/native/java/net/Inet6AddressImpl.c , there were changes that was added due to 8169865: Downport minor fixes in java.net native code from JDK 9 to JDK 8 which removed the additional work for non Solaris platforms of doing a reverse lookup to get the hostname. Is there any specific reason as to why the same change is not added to method Java_java_net_Inet4AddressImpl_getLocalHostName, file src/solaris/native/java/net/Inet4AddressImpl.c . For IPv4 we still continue to resolve hostname through nameservice for all UNIX platforms while for IPv6 we do this only for Solaris platforms.
Thanks, Srividya S
