We have some requirements for redundancy in which we bring networking interfaces up and down. I am not sure what the behavior would be if we are bound to the IP address of the interface that goes down, so to be on the safe side I would just like to unbind. This should not be a problem if my reading of the streams messages from user space is correct. Note that since we use streams in user space it might be easier to just continue to use streams rather than sockets. I have already written the appropriate code for bind/unbind for streams in user space which appears to work just fine.

OK.

An alternative would be to bind to INADDR_ANY and not worry about the changing set of network interfaces.
