Sockets.SocketAddress-accessing - GNU Smalltalk Library Reference

= aSocketAddress: Answer whether the receiver and aSocketAddress represent the same machine. The host name is not checked because an IPAddress created before a DNS is activated is named after its numbers-and-dots notation, while the same IPAddress, created when a DNS is active, is named after its resolved name.
asByteArray: Convert the receiver to a ByteArray passed to the operating system's socket functions)
hash: Answer an hash value for the receiver
name: Answer the host name (or the digit notation if the DNS could not resolve the address). If the DNS answers a different IP address for the same name, the second response is not cached and the digit notation is also returned (somebody's likely playing strange jokes with your DNS).
