I have the following problem with UDP:

if I receive a packet with recvmsg, the identity of the sender is
returned in a sockaddr structure. However, I have no idea of the
destination address this packet was sent to.

On a multihomed machine, this might be a problem even with unicast;
on a single-homed machine, this is a problem with multicast.

Is there any way to be returned the destination address as well ?

	Cheers
	Luigi
