Description
Instead of binding sockets, sockets should be exported, and the host should bind them. Sockets should be address-neutral, it's the application's responsibility to accept the addresses provided by the host. If the host decides to bind an exported socket to IPv6 or even UDS, then the guest has to just deal with it.
