Re: Imposible to determine source IP in TCPStream & TCPSocket?

[David Sugar]

getSender, in the Socket base class, is used to peek (examine) the 
origin of the next waiting packet in the socket receive buffer.  Since 
TCP sockets receive from a connected state, the origin is already known 
and does not change, hence getPeer.  I think getSender got stubbed out 
into a private member in TCPStream just so that it did not get inherited 
as a public method or get used, since it was inappropiate for use there.
