Description Tommaso Pecorella 2016-02-07 16:48:20 UTC

If the source address of the packet has been already set (it happens, for example, in Bound to NetDevice sockets), the packet is still sent on all the interfaces.

The flooding behavior is logical (and kept) only for the "Any" source address. In all the other cases the only interface the packet should be sent from is the one matching the source address.
