                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-320
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Kevin Bulebush


It would be very nice to specify exactly which network interface you would like 
to bind the TFTP server listening port to.  In some cases it's only necessary 
to open up loopback, in other cases you may only want to bind to a management 
network.  I would like to see one of two things happen to satisfy this 
requirement.
 
1) You could allow me to get a handle to the socket such that I can make 
modifications to it on my own.

or

2) Add a constructor and/or method that allows me to pass a NetworkInterface 
instance to specify which nic to bind the server to.
