The application always has that control anyway. The very first source address selection rule is "use the source address the application specifies". The other source address selection rules apply only if the application does not specify a source address. > I vote for 3484bis to remain silent as to a preference, Leaving the source address preference unspecified won't change anything for applications, but will lead to some implementations preferring privacy addresses and some implementations preferring non-privacy addresses. In general, standards should be deterministic - given the same circumstances, all implementations should behave the same way. Hence the need for a default position.
