Re: [lwip-users] Sending to a non-local network without default netif set

In response to the remark:
"Simon is right: routing doesn't have anything to do with the source address
and it shouldn't have to"

I think Simon is not right (no pun intended).
I am not entirely familiar with the ideas behind LwIP. But sourcebased
routing is very much in line with rfc1122 (ip for hosts). I quote:

We are facing a similar challenge with our project and we need a similar
mechanism. Is the adaptation of the ip_route available somewhere in the
community?
