interestingly i wonder what would happen if i do a bind call for some ipv4/ipv6 address here SLPNetworkCreateDatagram() After the socket creating we can just call bind( which is optional, only when some env variable is set). Iam think some env variable like "SLP_BIND_ADDR=fe80:xxxxx%eth0". If this env is null we skip bind call. Will this work?
