I was working on my patchset again and considered your suggestion; however I'm
not sure whether factoring out the constraints into a separate function is
actually that useful, since they are only called from one specific location for
each protocol; can you think of another useful application?

I however did like the idea of adding IPv6 support, so I did -
I'll post the new patch later on.

Thanks for your feedback.
