Sorry to barge in. But I think declaring AF_MAX to just 3 might not be
that good. If you look into the header, there are many other protocols
that uses number smaller than AF_MAX. I have no idea what the user
program is about, but within the kernel of BSD and Linux, AF_MAX is
sometimes inside a loop to look for the correct protocol to work on.

To the best of my knowledge, it is 32 in both BSD and Linux.

Then again, I have no idea how many protocols are implemented in MPE.
