RE: IPv6 multi-NIC and routing table

Hello kojiishi
Based on my understanding, you have a multihomed machine and want to select NIC to send packet.
In this case you can create a IPv6 socket and bind it to a certain address. For more details on how to support IPv6 in your socket application, please reference:
[IPv6 Guide for Windows Sockets Applications]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/ipv6_guide_for_windows_sockets_applications_2.asp

Please let me know if my answer helps you resolve the problem. If there is anything more I can assist you, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks,
