I have 2 network cards on my comp, and I intend to direct traffic from one network card to the other. Will be writing an application to handle this, but when i create the sockets, how am I able to specify which network card the socket will bind to? any suggestions?
i'm not trying to differentiate which socket is binded to which network card, What i would like to do is to specify that this socket A is binded to network card A, and socket B is binded to network card B.
Looking at the structure of the sockets, am i right that it can be specified in the struct sockaddr_in.in_addr ? which field in the sockets should be assigned?
