Hi, As you mentioned the source address selection section 1.6 in kame implementation. In this section in the last but one paragraph the following is mentioned. " there are some cases where we dodnot use the above rule. one example is connected TCP session, & we use the address kept in the TCP protocol control block(pcb) as the source." My question is with reference to this section.( It is possibe that the user may have specified un matchin source & destination addresses. eg link local source address for a global unicast destination address.) Kindly clear my doubt. regards ravi prasad JINMEI Tatuya / <jinmei@isl.rdc.toshiba.co.jp> wrote: > > >>>>> On Wed, 06 Jun 2001 00:35:21 +0900, > >>>>> JINMEI Tatuya <jinmei@isl.rdc.toshiba.co.jp> said: > > >> My doubt is this.
