[Babel-users] preferred source address vs babel

Hello everyone,

For multi-homed devices it would be interesting being able to specify a 
preferred source address for routes exported via babel. If the preferred 
src address is not specified, the kernel will select the src address and 
thus will leak ipv6 addresses into a network where they are foreign.

This should be configurable and could be static for one babeld instance.
Before going ahead and patching this into kernel_netlink.c (around line 
1053 I think) I would like to get some feedback on the idea.

What do you think?

Cheers

Christof
