Re: [PATCH] nping: bind to interface on Linux for IPv4 send-ip

Thanks, Valdik! I reviewed the code and moved the call to
socket_bindtodevice() to ProbeMode::start() so that it will affect all
modes, not just TCP. The change is in r39078.

I was going to ask if the same is needed for IPv6, but SO_BINDTODEVICE
is already being set for IPv6:

There's a function socket_bindtodevice in Nbase that should perhaps be
used in both these places:

Linux RAW sockets need to be bound to interface, if the interface is
L3 tunnel (OpenVPN TUN for example).
Otherwise the packet goes via default route, regardless of
`--interface` or `--source-ip` options.
