Pavel Simerda - glibc network name resolution issues, solutions and alternatives
Channel: RedHatCzech
Date: 20/02/2014

I've been researching various issues in name resolution an the getaddrinfo() function for quite some time. Now we're coming up with an alternative implementation and API. With this new project, we target multiple goals. While the original motivation was to provide a framework to test and eventually resolve glibc getaddrinfo() issues, we're now coming up with a bunch of new use cases including standalone use for asynchronous address resolution and replacing any application's getaddrinfo() call for testing purposes using a wrapper program.
