+\s+2Internal address representation\s0
+.PP
+Common to all portions of the system are two data structures.
+These structures are used to represent
+addresses and various data objects.
+Addresses, internally are described by the \fIsockaddr\fP structure,
+.DS
+._f
+struct sockaddr {
+ short sa_family; /* data format identifier */
+ char sa_data[14]; /* address */
+};
+.DE
+All addresses belong to one or more \fIaddress families\fP
+which define their format and interpretation.
+The \fIsa_family\fP field indicates the address family to which the address
+belongs, and the \fIsa_data\fP field contains the actual data value.
+The size of the data field, 14 bytes, was selected based on a study
+of current address formats.*
+Specific address formats use private structure definitions
+that define the format of the data field.
+The system interface supports larger address structures,
+although address-family-independent support facilities, for example routing
+and raw socket interfaces, provide only 14 bytes for address storage.
+Protocols that do not use those facilities (e.g, the current Unix domain)
+may use larger data areas.
+.FS
+* Later versions of the system may support variable length addresses.
