Re: [PATCH] IPv6: Improvement of Source Address Selection

Hello!

we need per socket preference.

What kind of? Some matching rules loaded to socket by user?

Anyway, rules established by a particular client should be separate,
it is just a generalization of bind()/IP{V6}_PKTINFO.

I am not sure that it is really interesting though. Just now I cannot
imagine what user can invent which is not covered by system-wide rules,
bind() and IP{V6}_PKTINFO. Well, if you think more hairy scheme is interesting,
feel free to implement this.

we need per application (per socket) interface
for privacy extension (public address vs temporary address) and 
mobile ip (home address vs care-of address).
