My question is whether the tests proposed should be unit tests or
functional tests. They only test one method, and it's not a complete piece
of functionality - like creating a VPN connection.

If that one system call is mocked, these could all be treated as unit
tests. So I'm wondering if there is an advantage in actually testing the
system call (getaddrinfo), as part of this work?


Thoughts?
