Cool! Thanks for that pointer...
That section refers to 'sending a datagram', which sounds UDP-specific.
Regardless of that, that section refers me to '3.3.4.3 Choosing a
Source Address', which does more succinctly address my question.
All I find upon a first read is:
(b) The route cache may be consulted, to see if there is
an active route to the specified destination network
through any network interface; if so, a local IP address
corresponding to that interface may be chosen.
But, nothing in RFC 1122 seems to shed any light on a selection
algorithm.
At least thia RFC grants me more vectors of research; thanks again...
