Effects: Outputs a representation of the endpoint to the stream, as if it were implemented as follows: 

basic_ostringstream<CharT, Traits> ss;
if (ep.protocol() == basic_endpoint<InternetProtocol>::protocol_type::v6())
  ss << "[" << ep.address() << "]";
else
  ss << ep.address();
ss << ":" << ep.port();
os << ss.str();

Returns: os.
