Hi Vidya,
The following comment has been addressed already as
part of Ted Hardie's comments. A new API will be
provided to select/bind the preferred source address
before connect().
Thanks,

All,
I'm passing along a comment from one of our
developers. Sorry, I have not closely read the
draft myself. But, if more clarification is needed,
I'll be happy to get more information.
In section 13, the draft describes a procedure
applications should follow in case they require to
use the address according to the selection
preferences specified (they should not communicate
with 'wrong' address and fail). The procedure
requires the application to do a 'connect()' in step
3. The application may not even want to connect (may
be a TCP application) in case it is not getting a
non-preferred address. There should be a procedure
described for such applications too.
Thanks,
Vidya
