Before IPv6 support, p_addr is a string form of an IPv4 address which
size is 17 bytes.  Now, p_addr is a pointer which points to a string
form of an IPv4 address (16 bytes) or an IPv6 address (up to 46 bytes).
An IPv6 address is larger than an IPv4 address.  So, a space to
hold an IP address was changed to a pointer which points to an IP
address to intend to minimize space disadvantage for each entry.

Sincerely,
