Hi All,

I want my socket application to send packets through a particular
interface.
Can SO_BINDTODEVICE option help me to get this?

The Linux man page says using SO_BINDTODEVICE will help the socket
application to "receive" packets from a particular interface. If this
is true, then please suggest some way to send packets through a
particular interface.

Thanks and regards,
Gaurav
