Yes, that is clear (the algorithm must have only one destination), but the question arises how much this makes sense (as the destination address may already have been selected using some arbitrary source address for comparing against the destination address). The extra steps may not harm of course (extra work..). One possibly interesting scenario could be when source or destination address selection has been upgraded to honor this but the other isn't. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
