So, if a program needs to specify an arbitrary source IPv6 address for
outgoing packets, it should use other "packet injection" interface such as
BPF.
One problem with using BPF for packet injection in IPv4 is that it requires
the sender to provide the link layer encapsulation, make the routing decision,
and perform any address resolution. Using raw sockets with the full header
option allows the sender to generate a datagram from an arbitrary source yet
not perform those routing and link layer activities, which require more
intimate knowledge of the link type. It might be desirable to add a socket
option to allow the specification of the source address in order to allow
packet replay tools, etc, to work without link layer knowledge.
