Description

create a class similar to IPEndPoint[1] that would help work with the SockaddrStorage struct. This class will avoid placing in the methods statements like the one (for getting the ip address or address length):

if(family == AF_INET) {
  do IPv4 API call
} else if(family == AF_INET6) {
  do IPV6 API call
}
