Description

in the code many functions need only the ip address to be passed as a parameter. I don't think it would be desirable to use a struct SockaddrStorage (MESOS-1916).

Consider using a std::vector<unsigned char> (see typedef std::vector<unsigned char> IPAddressNumber; in the Chromium project)
