Hmm, not sure, but last time I looked ping6 did not do SO_BINDTODEVICE
at all and I doubt it changed. It merely sets outgoing interface index
in cmsg PKTINFO data.

Semantically those are not the same. Interface index on global
destination addresses is only advisory, no strict routing lookup will be
done.

Bye,
Hannes
