I'm not opposed to merging this, I'm just raising some random questions that come to my mind.  Feel free to use or ignore them.  To me it seems like quite a bit of extra "abstraction" for what is essentialy containing the exact same information as sockaddr_storage.

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/13123/4/include/osmocom/core/ip_port.h
File include/osmocom/core/ip_port.h:

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/13123/4/include/osmocom/core/ip_port.h@47
PS4, Line 47: osmo_ip_port
basically this looks like you're reinventing sockaddr_storage which is usually typecast to sockaddr_in / sockaddr_in6?

I guess the only difference is that you're keeping the ip address as string, where as sockaddr_* keeps it in binary format.

Is that really worth it?  Could we not simply have a set of utility functions that work on sockaddr_storage instead?  O r are our accesses 99% of the time for the string, and we basically want to cache the string and avoid converting from binary to string all the time?

there is a #define for the maximum length of an IPv6 address in string format somewhere in libc, AFAIR

normal convention in osmocom is lke memcpy(): Output argument is first, followed by input argument[s].
