Having read this thread, I wonder if this problem came about because: * originally the initial route used with a socket was determined by the path the initial packet was received (seems like a reasonable optimisation); * this was perceived by someone as a "bug" because it didn't "properly" select "any" network interface for packets going out; * the "bug" got fixed.
but the above is just random speculation on my part. Darren _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
