8.14 Determining Outgoing Interface with UDP
A connected UDP socket can also be used to determine the outgoing interface that will be used to a particular destination. This is because of a side effect of the connect function when applied to a UDP socket: The kernel chooses the local IP address (assuming the process has not already called bind to explicitly assign this). This local IP address is chosen by searching the routing table for the destination IP address, and then using the primary IP address for the resulting interface.Figure 8.23 shows a simple UDP program that connects to a specified IP address and then calls getsockname, printing the local IP address and port.

If we run the program on the multihomed host freebsd, we have the following output:
freebsd % udpcli09 206.168.112.96
local address 12.106.32.254:52329
freebsd % udpcli09 192.168.42.2
local address 192.168.42.1:52330
freebsd % udpcli09 127.0.0.1
local address 127.0.0.1:52331
The first time we run the program, the command-line argument is an IP address that follows the default route. The kernel assigns the local IP address to the primary address of the interface to which the default route points. The second time, the argument is the IP address of a system connected to a second Ethernet interface, so the kernel assigns the local IP address to the primary address of this second interface. Calling connect on a UDP socket does not send anything to that host; it is entirely a local operation that saves the peer's IP address and port. We also see that calling connect on an unbound UDP socket also assigns an ephemeral port to the socket.
Unfortunately, this technique does not work on all implementations, mostly SVR4-derived kernels. For example, this does not work on Solaris 2.5, but it works on AIX, HP-UX 11, MacOS X, FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris 2.6 and later.
