From: Sowmini Varadhan sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com

[ Upstream commit d36f45e5b46723cf2d4147173e18c52d4143176d ]

Address/port initialization should work correctly regardless of the order in which command line arguments are supplied, E.g, cfg_port should be used to connect to the remote host even if it is processed after -D, src/dst address initialization should not require that [-4|-6] be specified before the -S or -D args, receiver should be able to bind to *.<cfg_port>

Achieve this by making sure that the address/port structures are initialized after all command line options are parsed.

Store cfg_port in host-byte order, and use htons() to set up the sin_port/sin6_port before bind/connect, so that the network system calls get the correct values in network-byte order.
