The destination portion would include the same types of things you can specify about a destination address request to getaddrinfo using "hints". (For example, this would allow you to only accept IPv6 destination addresses, and that definitely has source selection ramifications.) > Having said that, being able to do all of address selection in getaddrinfo > and have it return a list of src/dst pairs would make certain things simpler. > But I think that is orthogonal to adding the preferences and/or requirements > on local address types. Agreed. That is why I suggested this as mostly an additional possibility to provide more control to the application. jeff -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
