Re: IPv6 Policy based routing not working.

[Tushar Shinde <mtk.tushar@gmail.com>]

ping6 command uses SO_BINDTODEVICE but it looks it is not working. The
source address in fib6 rule match is 0:::0

strace ping6 -I eth0 2001:2::20 2> t
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
setsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, "eth0\0", 5) = 0
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(1025),
inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2001:2::20", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0,
sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 ENETUNREACH (Network is unreachable)

I think there is problem with so_binddevice. need to dig further.
