You mentioned that BBN Vax code did not use it. I've forgotten than how parameters
like IP addresses were passed down? I had thought that Rob had it also in at least one
version of the BBN code, as I remember talking to him about it at one point; but I have
frankly forgotten.
In the surviving source code, BBN VAX TCP re-purposed the ‘mode’ parameter of open() to be
a pointer to a block with connection data (“struct con”). Details are here:
