AddressFamily.FireFox 在 .NET 套接字中指的是什么？
在 System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily 中，有许多明显的条目，例如 InterNetwork、AppleTalk 和 Ipx。还有一个“FireFox”。我认为这与“Firefox”浏览器无关，因为。情况有所不同，b．为什么 Firefox 浏览器有自己的网络地址类型。那么这到底是为了什么？ FireFox 有网络协议吗？我用谷歌搜索并搜索了维基百科，但任何对 FireFox 和网络协议的搜索都会毫不奇怪地获得针对 Firefox 浏览器的数千次点击。我猜这是一个像 Banyan Vines 这样早已过时的网络协议。
谁能告诉我 AddressFamily.FireFox 的用途是什么？
In System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily there are a number of obvious entries like InterNetwork, AppleTalk and Ipx. There's also one for "FireFox". I assume this has nothing to do with the "Firefox" browser since a. it's cased differently and b. why would the Firefox browser have its own network address type. So what the heck is this for? Was there a FireFox network protocol? I've googled around and searched wikipedia but any search for FireFox and network protocol gets, not surprisingly, thousands of hits for the Firefox browser. I'm guessing this is a long-obsolete network protocol like Banyan Vines.
Can anyone enlighten me on what AddressFamily.FireFox is for?

我很好奇，所以我做了一些谷歌搜索。这一切都建立在创造性搜索的基础上；不是基于我所拥有的任何特殊知识，所以要持保留态度。
仅供参考，我是新人，所以只能发布一个链接，因此网址包含在文本下方。
搜索 Mark S. Edwards 让我找到了这个 邮件存档 (1)，该公司的名称为 Firefox Communications Ltd。通过 Google 搜索该公司的确切名称，会发现许多指向其名为 Novix，这显然是 网关 (2) 以前 NetWare IPX 网络和 TCP/IP 互联网之间的网关。看来Novix有相当不错的 Winsock 集成 (3)，（我推测）winsock.h 中的 AF_FIREFOX 和 PF_FIREFOX 条目来自于此。由于 System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily 只是旧头文件的一个端口，因此该公司在 Microsoft 大量支持的遗留 API 中继续存在。

www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/uw2nw.htmlI was curious so I did some Googling around. All of this is based on creative searching; not on any special knowledge that I have, so take it with a grain of salt.
FYI I'm new so I can only post one link, so URLs are included below the text.
Searching for Mark S. Edwards led me to this mail archive (1), which gives the company as Firefox Communications Ltd. Googling for that exact company name reveals a number of links to a product of theirs called Novix, which was apparently a gateway (2) between NetWare IPX networks and the TCP/IP internet back in the day. It seems that Novix had pretty good Winsock integration (3), which (I'm speculating) is where the
AF_FIREFOXandPF_FIREFOXentries in winsock.h came from. Since System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily is just a port of that old header file, the company lives on in Microsoft's massive set of supported, legacy APIs.(1):

www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/uw2nw.html来自 IANA：
firefox.co.uk 重定向至 www.savecell.co。英国，我猜它与他们的产品有某种关系，或者是用于现已不复存在的产品/想法的端口。
From IANA:
Being that firefox.co.uk redirects to www.savecell.co.uk, I am guessing it is somehow related to thier product, or is a port that was to be used for a now defunct product/idea.
