I have noticed that while using nettop to view sockets that there are services that are using IPV6 even though i have IPV6 turned off in my network configuration. as examples

airportd.68
udp4 *:*<->*:*
udp4 *:*<->*:*
udp4 *:*<->*:*
udp4 *:*<->*:*

udp6 *.*<->*.*

mDNSResponder.98
udp6 *.60037<->*.*
udp4 *:60037<->*:* utun0
udp6 *.50216<->*.*
udp4 *:50216<->*:* utun0
udp6 *.62228<->*.*
udp4 *:62228<->*:* utun0
udp6 *.5353<->*.* lo0
udp4 *:5353<->*:*

How can I prevent these process from using any IPV6 and whwy are they showing IPV^ sockets when it is off in my network configuration?
