It's a hard requirement, sorry.

And I want you to do it especially because it shows clearly how poor
your implementation is, with all of it's code duplication.

You'll need yet another copy of all of this code to support ipv6.

Please implement this properly, and in doing so the ipv6 support will
be very simple if not trivial.
