Yes. You're right here. It is a prerequisite for a CAN transportprotocol 
like the standardized ISO-TP i plan to submit here until december.

Indeed the union should be replaced by something like

struct sockaddr_can {
sa_family_t can_family;
int can_ifindex;
union {
struct { canid_t rx_id, tx_id; } tp;
} can_addr;
};


The union was the idea, if there is any other protocol for CAN that 
need's other adressing information. I personally do not know any 
protocol. Maybe CANOpen has different addressing requirements here. And 
in that case a new protocol could just could add things to the union to 
meet it's own needs.

Yeah :-) I thought, you were just done last time.

Btw. Thanks for your review and your good feedback.
