Hi, My doubt is this. In case a user process is specifying the source & destination address. Whether any check is performed on the source address like, a) address is present on which interface? b) address is already formed? c) Scope of source & destination address are correct? I checked the code in rip6_output() i found a call to a function to select the source address. Whether any such thing is performed for the addresses sent by the TCP & UDP layers? Assume that a user has opened a socket & has specifed the source & destination address.If the user has specified the source address to be of a different scope compared to the destination ( consider the cases of heigher scope or lower scope) any error message is loged? Kindly reply. regards ravi prasad __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
