Subject: PSARC/2007/565 IP_XMIT_IF removal and IP_BOUND_IF
rationalization
Introduction
------------
Over the years, the Solaris sockets API has accrued a variety of
methods to send or receive packets over a specific IP interface.
This case proposes to simplify and rationalize the landscape by
removing IP_XMIT_IF and extending IP_BOUND_IF to match the
behavior and commitment level of IPV6_BOUND_IF. Since both
IP_XMIT_IF and IP_BOUND_IF have been Consolidation Private, patch
binding is requested.
Does IP_BOUND_IF remain at the Consolidation Private level, or do you
propose to elevate it? (The materials don't make a definite statement,
so this is a question of clarification.)
