Full Discussion: IPv6 address block assign/associate with an interface

Hm. There are plenty of solutions for this but no portable ones that I know of. It's not something a generic socket's really designed to do. Network devices filter out traffic that's not theirs, all the way down at the hardware level.

I foresee another problem. In the old days, a hub just copied traffic to everyone and let them sort it out (which is why network cards often filter out traffic for others in hardware), but most networks these days are switched. A switch wouldn't bother sending you a copy. Any traffic that doesn't have you as the destination mac address, you just wouldn't get. (except for broadcasts and the like of course.)

sock2path(4)							   File Formats 						      sock2path(4)

NAME

       sock2path - socket mapping file that maps sockets to transport providers

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/sock2path

DESCRIPTION

       The  socket  mapping  file, /etc/sock2path, is a system file that contains the mappings between the socket(3SOCKET) call parameters and the
       transport provider driver. Its format is described on the soconfig(1M) manual page.

       The init(1M) utility uses the soconfig utility with the sock2path file during the boot sequence.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 An Example of the sock2path File

       The following is an example of a sock2path file:

	 # Family    Type    Protocol	 Module | Path
	      2       2 	0	   tcp
	      2       2 	6	   tcp
	      26      2 	0	   tcp
	      26      2 	6	   tcp
