The ipv6 version of the 'get route entry' function ip6_route_output() does not fill in the source address of the route even when a valid appropriate source address is passed. Is this the expected behavior or a bug which is going to be fixed in the future releases of 2.5? The ipv4 version 'ip_route_output_key()' works as expected. SCTP calls these routines to get and cache a route entry and uses the cached entry to fill in skb->dst before passing the skb to ip. Thanks Sridhar
