As I understand it, with linux IPv6 sockets are dual stack capable, and
in earlier kernel versions this was be enabled by default. I believe
with current versions that is no longer the case, and that you have to
specifically enable dual stack by turning off IPV6_V6ONLY using
setsockopt before binding on the socket.
Then, if receiving a IPv4 connection from address 1.2.3.4, this would be
mapped as ::::ffff:1.2.3.4.
I do not know about other OSes. I have half a memory that some earlier
versions of windows did not support dual stack sockets (XP?).
