Dear Kyungwan Han,

I think it would be better is we are creating any re-usable functions, it
should be kept in lib.c.

And if you are creating functions, which are useful and re-usable for
creating network related any binaries, then we can go ahead with
separate "network-functions.c" under "lib" directory.

This will make life easy :)

Just adding my 2 cents :)

Gaurang Shastri
