It would be elevated to Committed for symmetry with IPV6_BOUND_IF. > (The materials don't make a definite statement, so this is a question > of clarification.) It's buried in the "Details" section (sorry): [ ... ] unicast and multicast traffic as well. IP_BOUND_IF will also be promoted to Committed and described in ip(7P). -- meem
