Hi , anupam Can I ask a question about SO_BINDTODEVICE, since you mentioned it here. (I can't recall where I find the information), it is said to use SO_BINDTODEVICE, you still need to have a route pointing to the device. SO_BINDTODEVICE only allow you to choose device among the different routing priorities. Is it true for LINUX? Also somebody said SO_BINDTODEVICE can't work with multicast, true?
