Ok, then how would you propose to be able to send packets out an interface _before_ we have addresses assigned to it?
Linux allows that, and in fact it's a useful feature.
Consider MSG_DONTROUTE as well.
BTW, this ARP source address algorithm we use comes from ipv6, it would be instructive to go and see why they do things the way they do. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
