+- an AF_TIPC socket address is expressed as

+	TIPC_ADDR_NAMESEQ, TIPC_ADDR_NAME, and TIPC_ADDR_ID;
+  and scope can be one of:

+  The meaning of v1, v2 and v3 depends on the value of addr_type:
+	if addr_type is TIPC_ADDR_NAME:
+		v1 is the server type
+		v2 is the port identifier
+		v3 is ignored
+	if addr_type is TIPC_ADDR_NAMESEQ:
+		v1 is the server type

+		v3 is the upper port number
+	if addr_type is TIPC_ADDR_ID:
+		v1 is the node
+		v2 is the ref
+		v3 is ignored
