Hi --
I'm submitting this patch for another engineer on my team, thus his name
in the "signed off-by" field.
We ran into an issue where if an interface had multiple IP addresses,
the PTP multicast traffic would be sourced randomly which broke our PTP
implementation.
I'll field any questions on this patch.
Best regards.
Bob Carter
-----------
On a host with multiple subnets per interface we want PTP multicast
traffic to be always sourced from the first subnet on the interface,
not one randomly chosen.
