A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : IPv6 Socket API for source address selection
Author(s) : E. Nordmark, et al.
Filename : draft-chakrabarti-ipv6-addrselect-api-03.txt
Pages : 28
Date : 2005-7-14
The IPv6 default address selection document, RFC 3484, describes the
rules for selecting source and destination IP addresses, and
indicates that the applications should be able to reverse the sense
of some of the address selection rules through some unspecified API.
However, no such socket API exists in the basic or advanced IPv6
socket API documents. This document fills that gap by specifying
socket level options add new flags for the getaddrinfo() API to
specify preferences for address selection that modify the default
address selection algorithm. The socket APIs described in this
document will be particularly useful for IPv6 applications that want
to choose between temporary and public addresses, and for Mobile IPv6
aware applications that want to use the Care-of-address for
communication.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
