  • Ticket #626 – Description

    initial v3  
    1 The current socket API and networking stack does not support the SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option.
     1The currently implemented SO_IPLINK socket option in the UDP server lacks one important functionality of SO_BINDTODEVICE in Linux.
    22
    3 One of the most serious effects of the lack of this option is that the DHCP client is unable to configure multiple network devices, because it cannot bind multiple sockets with the same source pair (INADDR_ANY, 68).
     3In Linux, the SO_BINDTODEVICE option is used to allow the DHCP client to configure multiple network devices by binding multiple sockets to the same source pair (INADDR_ANY, 68), but on different network devices.
